Abstract

The focus of this paper is to propose a service-oriented multi-agent framework to better integrate Web services and agents. In the making of this framework, there are four main components: (1) a possibilistic Petri-Nets (PPN) based service matchmaking mechanism for service discovery, (2) a service description language based on PPN for describing agent services and Web services, (3) a set of ontologies to facilitate the semantic matchmaking, and (4) an extension of tModels to bridge the Web services registered in UDDI to the PPN matchmaker.
