Having many notions in common with multi-agent systems, business processes are well suited for modelling agents and their interrelations. However, often vague semantics and structural differences make a mapping from business processes to multi-agent systems difficult. In this paper, we formally describe a mapping from business process models to multi-agent systems that can be applied to different agent frameworks and languages. Using the same mapping, we created four semantically equivalent and interoperable implementations suiting different areas of application.
