COOWS: Adaptive BDI Agents meet Service-Oriented Computing

چکیده
Mainstream research in Web Services is currently looking at two main aspects, namely formally describing interactions among services, and finding and combining services. Much work made in the intelligent agents area is being applied to these issues. In this paper, we investigate the application of agent research to Web Services from a different perspective, that is, procedural learning. The final objective is to enable an adaptive system (an agent in our terminology) to discover or being fed with knowledge concerning how to solve a specific set of problems in a specific software or physical environment. Our work is a preliminary step into the issue, with the main objective of assessing how current Web Services technology can support a component, described in terms of beliefs, desires and intentions, dynamically adapting its behaviour to new environments.

An Autonomic Service Oriented Architecture in Computational Engineering Framework
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOAmay often need to ...

متن کاملSupporting Virtual Organisations Using BDI Agents and Constraints
Virtual organisations underpin many important activities in distributed computing, including e-commerce and e-science. This paper describes a new technique by which software agents can intelligently form virtual organisations to meet some pre-specified requirements. Our approach builds on work in BDI agents and constraint satisfaction techniques. Using a realistic service-providing scenario, we...
متن کاملTowards Adaptive Service Development
In the dynamic e-Business environment, it is desirable for a service to meet the requirements of different users. The current available technologies rather supports a service with a single fixed business process without considering user needs. Such design makes it difficult for user to integrate the provided service, hence obstruct the service provider to expand the business. In this paper we p...
متن کاملProgramming SOA/WS Systems with Cognitive Agents and Artifact-Based Environments
Agents and Multi-Agent Systems are recognized in the literature as a suitable paradigm for engineering SOA and Web Service systems: however few works explore how to exploit agent programming languages – in particular those based on a strong notion of agency, such as BDI ones – for concretely developing such a kind of systems. In this paper we discuss a general-purpose programming model and a re...
