A Service-Oriented approach for integrating MultiAgent Systems with Web Services in a Collaboration application
Eduardo H. Ramírez, Ramón Brena · Research in Computing Science · 2005
Service-oriented architectural paradigm (SOA) improves the abstraction and flexibility on which information systems may be designed and integrated, thus allowing agent-based and other AI applications to be gradually and seamlessly adopted by large organizations. Web-services standards for semantics and interoperability realize the SOA approach and are key enablers for MultiAgent systems enterprise integration. In this paper we show how the SOA paradigm and Web Services technologies may be used for designing and integrating agent-based applications in a flexible and robust way. A case-study for a collaborative application is presented
