Configuring Web Services, Using Structuring and Techniques from Agent Configuration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the use of an Agent Factory for the composition of web services. Previous work proposed a structuring approach for automated reconfiguration of agents by an Agent Factory. The question is whether the same approach can be applied to web service composition, i.e. whether DAML-S descriptions of web services offer enough structure for automated configuration by the Agent Factory. An example trace of the Agent Factory for configuration of DAML-S web services illustrates this approach.

The Adaptation of Agent Configurations using Web Services as Components
To support dynamic and reactive behaviour we have developed an Agent Factory which (re-)structures an agent configuration using existing components. In this paper we present our current work which uses Web services as the components. Our initial work has focused on configuring Web services to create a design artifact. This is achieved by reasoning about the requirements and the semantic descrip...

متن کاملAgent-based Architecture for Autonomic Web Service Selection
In principle, with Web services, application creation is simply a matter of finding and selecting the right services and composing them into a solution. However, current techniques do not address the problem of selecting the best or even a desirable service from among those matching a given interface. We propose an approach wherein middle agents serve as proxies for Web services to assist an ap...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Modeling Approaches to Agent-Based Workflow Services
With the increasing popularity of component-based services and semantic web services, the idea of specification-driven service composition is becoming a reality. With the distribution of these autonomous services, a realizable goal will be the transformation of the Internet into a universal service repository. In such an environment, intelligent agents can play a significant role in configuring...
متن کاملThe METEOR-S Approach for Configuring and Executing Dynamic Web Processes
Web processes are the next generation workflows created using Web services. This paper addresses research issues in creating a framework for configuring and executing dynamic Web processes. The configuration module uses Semantic Web service discovery, integer linear programming and logic based constraint satisfaction to configure the process, based on quantitative and non-quantitative process c...
