This work deals with Interaction Protocols adaptation for coordination in the context of Crisis Management Processes. One possible way to deal with this coordination is the use of Interaction Protocols (IP). In order to guarantee an efficient use of IP, one needs to adapt them. In this paper, the authors propose the conjointly use of version and context concepts to model the IP versions and their contexts within a coherent conceptual framework, called MDA. Following this practice, they first propose the contextualized versioned IP meta model. Second, they propose an extension of Agent UML sequence diagram meta-model in order to specify graphically the contextualized versioned IP. Third, they provide an Interaction Protocols Adaptation and Management System to support the life cycle of IP from modeling to performing. Finally, they illustrate their solution through a well-known crisis scenario called “Air Crash Management Process”.

This work addresses the Interaction Protocols (IP) adaptation issue for coordination in the context of Crisis Management Processes (CMP). CMP refers to the coordination of different activities performed by involved actors in a dynamic and unstable context. Using interaction protocols (such as contract net, negotiation or vote) is one possible way to deal with this coordination. In order to guarantee an efficient use of IP, we need to adapt them. In our previous work, we proposed an MDA (Model Driven Architecture) framework to support the IP adaptation. More precisely, we proposed the conjointly use of version and context notions to model the IP versions and their contexts (the CIM level). We also proposed an extension of AUML sequence diagram meta-model to specify graphically the contextualized versioned interaction protocols (the PIM level). In this paper, we propose an Interaction Protocols Adaptation and Management System (IPAMS) that supports the previous contributions. This IPAMS ensures the IP adaptation at run time. Finally, we propose a well-known crisis scenario called "Air Crash Management Process" in order to illustrate the proposed solution.
