Abstract

In this paper we analyse the problem of synthesising compliant business processes from rules-based declarative specifications for agents. In particular, we consider the approach by [1, 2] and we propose computationally efficient algorithms to combine plans extracted from the deliberation of an agent to generate the corresponding business processes with exclusive choice patterns.
