Service Level Agreements for Semantic Web Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an RDF-based language called SWCL to represent contracts, with a focus on service level agreements. The language came about due to a requirement in our research concerning reliable service delivery in domains containing virtual organizations, and we describe one such domain. Our language is built around a production rule system using RDF bindings and containing some contract-specific resources. A number of other approaches to contracting have been proposed, and we first describe these, and then compare them to SWCL. Finally, we suggest a number of extensions to this work, as well as ideas regarding how contracting can form part of a framework for increasing agent reliability in an open environment.

A procedure for Web Service Selection Using WS-Policy Semantic Matching
In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Software Agreements between Autonomous Agents
This paper addresses the problem of how to create legally binding software agreements between web services or agents operating within the framework of the semantic web. From an examination of the legal requirements on such a system, a set of formal technical requirements is derived. This then leads to an outline system architecture based on experience in developing preference rule based systems...
متن کاملQoS based Selection and Composition of Semantic Web Services based upon Multi-Agent Negotiation
In semantic web service composition, the selection can also be performed after negotiating with all the discovered service providers and the negotiation-agreements generated from the negotiation can also be used in the selection process. This paper presents a semantic web service selection and composition model based upon this concept. The paper presents multi-agent negotiation based semantic w...
متن کاملSemantic-enabled Specification for Web Services Agreement
Quality of Service (QoS) becomes necessary for service-oriented computing. Web Services Agreement (WSA) aims at defining a language and a protocol for advertising the capabilities of providers, creating agreements based on creational offers, and monitoring of QoS. On the other hand, semantic web provides many burgeoning techniques that enable services intelligent and automatic on the web. There...
متن کاملUsing intelligent agents for service adaptation
Services are becoming widely used in the world of engineering and manufacturing as well. Both traditional and computational resources are often encapsulated as Web services, providing the basis for building service-oriented architectures (SOA) based on standards. Services are used on the basis of contractual agreements. A service level agreement (SLA) provides the operational definition of a se...
