چکیده

In the past, the demand for modular, distributed and dynamic computer systems has increased rapidly. In the field of multi-agent systems (MAS) many of the current approaches try to account for these requirements. In this paper we discuss the shortcomings of the semantic service selection component SeMa2, propose improvements and describe an integration concept into a multiagent framework. Further, we illustrate how this system can be extended by an automated service composition component using methods from the AI planning community.

Applying Semantic Web Technologies to Matchmaking and Web Service Descriptions

The recent growth of using agents in representing web services is causing difficulties in finding specific types of services. This problem usually arises because matchmaking techniques for services are often based on string comparison and service providers might neglect to provide enough or appropriate keywords for the matchmaking process. In this paper we report on an approach that makes use o...

Semantic Service Manager - Enabling Semantic Web Technologies in Multi-Agent Systems

Computer systems are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Many of today’s application areas do not fit for monolithic approaches, but for distributed intelligent systems. The multi-agent paradigm is an appropriate and therefore popular approach for building these systems. To interpret messages and provided services the agents need a common ontology. Solutions to integrate standards like OWL-S all...

A Prototype for Discovering Compositions of Semantic Web Services

Semantic Web services provide semantically enhanced service descriptions which allow the development of automated service discovery and composition. Yet, an efficient semantic-based service discovery remains a major open challenge towards a wide acceptance of semantic Web services. In this paper we present a fully-automated matchmaking system for discovering sets of OWL-S Web services capable o...

Semantic matchmaking of web services using model checking

Service matchmaking is the process of finding suitable services given by the providers for the service requests of consumers. Previous approaches to service matchmaking is mostly based on matching the input-output parameters of service requests and service provisions. However, such approaches do not capture the semantics of the services and hence cannot match requests to services effectively. T...
