Hi Jun, Khalid, Satya, I have a few questions. 1. Can an agent be defined independently of processes? 2. You are using various verbs relating agents to process execution: agent controls process execution (Khalid) agent is involved in process execution (Jun) agent is linked to process execution (Satya) Can these verbs be clarified further and distinguished?
