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

Abstract

This paper discusses an innovative mean on modeldriven agent-based coordination of Semantic Web services. The general idea is to define a platform independent metamodel 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.
