A Multi-Agent Framework for Execution of Complex Applications
Alexandru Cicortaş, Victoria Iordan · 2006
Abstract: Complex applications execution needs a lot of conditions starting with hardware and software resources until the task sequencing and verifying the results of the execution. The needed resources can be found locally or on the Web and Grid. For an efficient usage the needed resources application and the effective resources found must be described in an appropriate and way and we propose the XML. The matching between the resources of the application and the Web/Grid resources is done in our proposal by the agents. As a new approach in the last years is the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that is developed as an efficient solution. The services are furnished by the providers and these are used by the clients in some specific conditions. The realization of the SOA technology presents a real opportunity to improve effectiveness. On the Web and Grid we dispose for services and these can be used in a given contest. SOA provides the application of well-founded concepts that exploits the ability of modern system resources to collaborate, independent of location across heterogeneous technologies. Keywords: multi-agent systems, grid, resource management, complex systems design, service oriented architecture.
