Meyer — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:27:37 +0000

In the simulations as described in the paper ‘Robust Planning and Control using Intelligent Products‘ by Gerben G. Meyer and Hans Wortmann, two altered versions of the TAC SCM server have been used.

Download these two altered versions from the tacscm-grunn project page at Google Code.

GRUNN agent

Meyer — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:17:39 +0000

The binary of the GRUNN agent can now be downloaded. This is the agent which has been used for the simulations as described in the TADA’09 paper called ‘Robust Planning and Control using Intelligent Products‘ by Gerben G. Meyer and Hans Wortmann. and is the same agent as can be found in the TAC Agent Repository.

Download the GRUNN agent from the tacscm-grunn project page at Google Code.

Email Interaction Miner

Stuit — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:22:49 +0000

Email Interaction Miner can be downloaded here. It transforms a set of email messages in Microsoft Outlook into a model format that can be loaded in the TALL Visual Editor v2.0.

The tool requires the CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) package to be installed for Outlook. For Outlook versions 2003 and earlier, installation instructions are included in this document. Starting with Outlook 2007, Microsoft distributes CDO as a Web download, separated from the product.

The tool also comes with a list of practical email suggestions that potential users should follow in order to maximize the benefits of the developed email interaction mining approach.

TALL Visual Editor v2.0

Stuit — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:03:12 +0000

The TALL visual editor can be downloaded here. It requires a present installation of the Java Runtime Environment

TALL Graphical Editor Suite v1.5b

Stuit — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:15:04 +0000

This suite contains an older version of the TALL Visual Editor that allows agent interaction and behavior models to be translated to Hierarchical Colored Petri (HCP) nets. The specific output format of the HCP net can be loaded into the widely used CPN Tools software package for verification purposes.

Ongoing development efforts are underway to integrate this suite with the new version 2.0 of the TALL Visual Editor.
