An Agent Based Architecture (Using Planning) for Dynamic and Semantic Web Services Composition in an EBXML Context

TL;DR

This paper proposes an agent-based architecture utilizing planning and semantic matching for dynamic, semantic web services composition within an ebXML framework, enhancing integration of heterogeneous distributed applications.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model combining planning and semantic matching for dynamic web services composition in an ebXML context.

Findings

Effective semantic matching for web services

Dynamic composition of ebXML business processes

Improved integration of heterogeneous applications

Abstract

The process-based semantic composition of Web Services is gaining a considerable momentum as an approach for the effective integration of distributed, heterogeneous, and autonomous applications. To compose Web Services semantically, we need an ontology. There are several ways of inserting semantics in Web Services. One of them consists of using description languages like OWL-S. In this paper, we introduce our work which consists in the proposition of a new model and the use of semantic matching technology for semantic and dynamic composition of ebXML business processes.
