Dynamic conversations between agents with the PRACTIONIST Framework

A systematic literature review of service choreography adaptation

“…Agents can also learn, self-analyze, and adjust their own behavior according to the environment, even with partial knowledge about the whole context. Agents are often implemented with Artificial Intelligence techniques, such as execution plans [24], and the BDI (beliefs, desires, and intentions) model [14]. In the service choreography context, agents can also be used to recover from interaction failures based on declarative policy specifications [1].…”

“…Four studies explicitly use a multi-agent system to dynamically adapt web service choreographies [1, 14,22,24].…”

“…Morreale et al [14] argue that current web services technology does not meet real business needs. It says that instead of using each other, companies create collaborative relationships, with interactions respecting the identity and autonomy of each party.…”

“…The category aspects regarding RQ2 are: Target: The studies of Morreale et al [14] and Blanchet et al…”

“…Implementations: We have found the security-aware CSMWC, based on Spi Calculus [22], in which agents retrieve requirements, search for services fulfilling these requirements, and perform the adaptation when necessary; the PRACTIONIST framework 2 , released under the LGPL license and based on BDI techniques [14], in which the message exchange sequence is abstracted to the user, and handled by the agents; and the Workflow Reconfiguration with Agent-and BPEL-Based Intercommunication Technology (WRABBIT) [1], which recognizes conversation errors and supports dynamic adjustment of workflow scripts to avoid such errors.…”
