Hi Khalid, I guess the reason you propose to name "agent" as "controller" is that you define agent has a controlling role in the executions. But to me, an agent might have a more relaxed role. It might just perform, participate etc the execution, without necessarily having a very strong controlling effect. cheers, Jun On 06/06/11 19:38, Khalid Belhajjame wrote: > > Hi, > > I added a definition of the concept "agent". > > Definition: An agent is a (physical or digital) entity that controls one > or multiple process executions > > - The newspaper, the blogger and the government portal are examples of > agents > > I would prefer to use the term “controller” instead of “agent”.
