Model-driven Approach to the Integration of Multiagent Systems and Semantic Web Services

Abstract

This paper discusses an innovative mean on model-driven agent-based coordination of semantic Web services. The general idea is to define a platform independent meta-model for semantic Web services and integrate it into a platform independent metamodel for multiagent systems. A model-driven semantic Web services matchmaker agent in combination with model transformations between the platform independent metamodel and existing semantic Web service formats like OWL-S allow the seamless integration of semantic Web services into multiagent systems.
