Semantic Web Communication Framework Towards Agent-based Software Engineering

Abstract

This work proposes an innovative framework towards realizing agent-based software engineering. As a new abstraction, agents reveal significant potential to intimately serve human users using web services. This framework coordinates web services over the Semantic Web. It adapts agent communication to the Semantic Web, then confines inter-agent communication within the foundation of intelligent and physical agents (FIPA) interaction protocol. Through this, automated web service discovery and composition is expected to be realized in the near future.
