“…This typically considers the components to be simply the building blocks from which agents are constructed. The interfaces by which these components may be used are described using a language such as DAML-S (as in [1]) and an agent composition service is charged with building agents from the library of reusable components that are available. Once assembled, these components comprise the entirety of the agent.…”

Modern computing systems require powerful software frameworks to ease their development and manage their complexity. These issues are addressed within both Component-Based Software Engineering and Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, although few integrated solutions exist. This paper discusses a novel integration strategy, which builds upon both paradigms to address their shortcomings while leveraging their different characteristics to define a complete software framework.

“…A component-based approach in the construction of multi agent systems has been supported by numerous researchers in the past. This typically considers the components to be simply the building blocks from which agents are constructed (M. Amor and Troya, 2003). An advantage of this approach is the ability to take domain-specific issues into account at the component level.…”

This paper proposes the adoption of the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agent model for the construction of component & service-based software systems with self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self protecting (self-*) properties. It examines component & service, and agent technologies, and shows how to build a component & service-based framework with agent-like autonomous features. This paper illustrates the design of one such framework, Self-OSGi, built over Java technology from the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi). The use of the new framework is illustrated and tested with a simulated robotic application and with a dynamic service-selection example.

“…The enormous effort results into a vast amount of approaches and implementations, e.g. [2,3,7,9,10,11,16,17]. In general, these approaches make use of software agents to manage the composition and enactment of multiple services.…”

The topic of agent-based service composition has been experiencing much attention recently. Researchers are applying agent technology with the aim to improve adaptiveness and flexibility of prevailing static Web service composition solutions. One major characteristic of multi-agent systems in particular is their ability of emergent behavior that allows gaining complex system behavior from small distributed sets of simple rules. This paper describes a multi-agent-based coalition formation approach for service composition that achieves emergent behavior based on a lightweight interaction protocol and decentralized decision making. The paper also presents evaluation results of first experiments to underline the validity of the approach.
