DYNAMIC SERVICE MATCHMAKING IN INTELLIGENT WEB
Keywords:
Intelligent Web, Agent Service Description, Dynamic Service MatchmakingAbstract
Intelligent Web functions essentially as an enormously autonomic entity, and it automatically regulates the functions and cooperation of related Web sites and available application services. Agent is the core component of the Intelligent Web. Intelligent Web not only can present the static information, but also can present dynamic services. In this paper, we study the problems of service management in Intelligent Web and analyze the insufficiencies of the service description language CDL, SDL and LARKS. Combining the features of the Intelligent Web, Web Services, and Grid Services, we propose an agent service description language SDLSIN which satisfies ten properties of agent service description. Based on SDLSIN, we mainly study the service matchmaking problem of Intelligent Web, and propose three kinds of service matchmaking algorithms which are adapted to open and dynamic Intelligent Web. At last, the development of SDLSIN and three kinds of service matchmaking algorithms in Multi-AGent Environment MAGE which we developed is introduced.
