Role-Stage Model for Design and Implementation of User-Centric Business Applications

Role-Stage model is a programming model, initially discovered in the context of development of agent-based language for simulation of complex social systems. This research aims at integrating the various facets of business operations using the proposed Role-Stage model for the design and development of flexible, adaptive, user-centric business applications. The technique involves the three essential building blocks called Stages, Roles and Agents, to describe reason and conceptualize business processes at model description time as well as at runtime. The effectiveness of the proposed model is illustrated by a sample enterprise application, designed and implemented based on the model.
