Riassunto:

The fast-growing area of web services offers the multi-agent community exciting research possibilities, including similarities in system architectures, powerful tools, and a focus on issues such as trust and reliability. This book contains contributions by leading international researchers and professionals from both the web services and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) community, addressing the rapidly growing impact of Multi-Agent Systems on web services tools and techniques. The contributors also investigate the potential for MAS techniques to impact the difficult challenges that must be tackled for web services technology to realize its promises.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

EXTENDING WEB SERVICES TECHNOLOGIES addresses the rapidly growing impact of Multi-Agent Systems on Web Services tools and techniques by presenting recent and significant developments in the general areas of Web services and software agents. In particular, the book addresses the potential for techniques from Multi-Agent Systems R&D to impact the difficult challenges that must be tackled for Web services technology to realize its promises. The area of Web services offers the multi-agent community exciting research possibilities, including similarities in system architectures, powerful tools, and a focus on issues such as trust and reliability. Likewise, techniques developed in the multi-agent research community promise to have a strong impact on this fast growing technology.

The contents of this volume evolved from a workshop on Web services and agent-based engineering. In addition to the extended workshop papers, the book contains additional contributions written by leading international researchers and professionals from both the Web Services and Multi-Agent Systems community.
