Description
The areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Semantic Web Services offer much of real interest to the Multi-agent System community, including similarities in system architectures and provision processes, powerful tools, and the focus on issues such as quality of service, security and reliability. Similarly, techniques developed in the Multi-agent Systems research community promise to have a strong impact on this fast growing technology.
In addition, Service-Oriented Computing and Semantic Web Services offer various diverse application fields for both the concepts and methodologies of intelligent agent and multi-agent systems. Thus, the workshop will be an adequate supplement and extension of the main conference themes, and will allow researchers and practitioners to engage in the discussion and exchange of ideas. It will enable gaining deeper understanding of practical needs, opportunities, and impact of agent-based research on the area of Service-oriented Computing and Semantic Web services.
The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems, Semantic Technology, and Service-Oriented Computing, and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, the workshop aims at identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and Semantic Technology research that will have the greatest impact on automating service-oriented application construction and management, focusing on critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and adaptability.
