Agent Based Infrastructure for Web Service Integration
Stanisław Ambroszkiewicz, Leszek Rozwadowski, Dariusz Mikułowski · 2002
A new simple minimum language Entish is proposed for automatic web service integration. The integration is done by autonomous software agents. The new language is fully declarative although it corresponds functionally to WSFL, XLANG, XAML, and DAML-S which are procedural languages. This is achieved by separating the essential data of the integration process (agent) from execution and reasoning machinery (that must be realized procedurally), and moving it outside Entish to a dedicated service (i.e., BodyService). The essential data are expressed in Entish (as agent soul) and serve as control data of the agent process responsible for web service integration. Entish is implemented on HTTP+SOAP, however, it may be also implemented on the top of SOAP+WSDL+UDDI stack if the syntax of WSDL is adopted. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
