Aspects of the invention effectuate a network of distributable agents (100) for conducting some or all sub-processes of an overall intra- or extra-business entitly process (e.g. in a business group, location, company, division, inter company operation, etc.) Aspects form a network of distributable, temporarily persistable agents (104a) for executing respective "slices" of the business process. Aspects also populate the agents in a predetermined manner with combinations of prefabricated generic agent elements and customizable agent elements linkable thereto; aspects further provide separate functional agent element and data, and separate functional elements including business processing and operational elements. Aspects further enable agent operation to be varied by assigning a different role to the agent, and for agents to operate in a unitary, collaborative, propagated or combined agent/inter-agent manner. Aspects also enable agents to conduct efficient distributable agent condition or data persistence at predetermined processing states (e.g. upon completion of useful agent processing). |
