Semantic Web services platform based on software agent

Abstract

Semantic Web services is considered as the concept bringing the web to its full potential by combining the best features of web services, agent technology, grid and the Semantic web. In this paper we present a semantic Web Services platform based on software agent (JASW), which introduces Semantic web and software agent and takes the automated discovery, selection, orchestration and invocation of Web services as application background. In the platform, we adopt Semantic web to accurately describe Web services, and use software agent to implement discovery, selection, and orchestration of Web services.
