Abstract

This paper reports our experiences in analyzing service models based on the Service Requirements Modelling Ontology (SRMO) with an agent-oriented reasoning procedure. The service model in this paper adopts concepts from the strategic actor based early requirements modelling framework i* and extended with service manipulation rules. By mapping a static conceptual service model into a runtime situation, the set of service manipulation rules can be simulated and validated against expected service requirements. The Service-Oriented Model Reasoner (SOMR) has been designed and implemented as a plug-in of the Organization Modelling Environment (OME). Our testing results have shown that the agent-oriented service model reasoner can be used as an effective rule debugger and service model simulation tool.
