“…Perhaps the closest works to our approach are Espinoza (2003), Espinoza and Hamfors (2003), and Sirin, Parsia, and Hendler (2004). In fact, the architecture of those systems is quite similar-although not exactly the same-to that described in this article.…”

“…Differences come from the fact that the spirit and motivation of those papers are not similar to ours. For instance, the proposal in Espinoza and Hamfors (2003) is that end-users themselves can also be service providers. To this aim, they present ServiceDesigner, a tool based on a previous system called sView and intended for creating new services for end-users as providers.…”

“…Two examples of Web services: (left) buying a drink at a drinking machine; (right) playing with a videogame machine modules-especially those related to the Semantic Web tasks-can actually be incorporated into our implementation. It is worthwhile to mention that in Espinoza and Hamfors (2003) it has been pointed out the need for a graphical user interface (step 2 of their development). That interface is subsequently combined with a specification of the functional components into an sView compatible service.…”

“…In Espinoza and Hamfors (2003), the authors categorized the services into four different classes: being built from scratch, being constructed from a template, being combined from components, or a combination of these. Our approach belongs to the third category, meaning that many new services can be built by combining other services and connecting them to create new functionality.…”

A New Framework for Intelligent Semantic Web Services Based on GAIVAs

The Semantic Web has been recently developed to provide end users with suitable tools and strategies to process information from their Web pages. The Intelligent Semantic Web Services is a new approach aimed at extending Semantic Web capabilities for Services by applying Artificial Intelligence techniques while maintaining the good properties of the standard Semantic Web schemes. However, many current Web services neither consider this approach nor include a powerful user-interface and, consequently, are very limited and difficult to use. This paper introduces a new framework for Intelligent Semantic Web Services that overcomes these drawbacks. Our approach is based on the Graphical Autonomous Intelligent Virtual Agents (GAIVAs), virtual agents that exhibit a human-like appearance and behaviour and are able to take intelligent decisions and perform actions without human intervention. To this purpose, the framework comprises a collection of powerful Artificial Intelligence techniques along with a natural and intuitive Graphical User Interface.

“…In ServiceDesigner [3], a user can enter the URL of any WSDL compliant web service, after which a graphical user interface is automatically generated, complete with the necessary logic to use the service (The Apache FAQ 3 recommends ServiceDesigner as a tool to test web services). ServiceDesigner also includes a visual editing tool with which the user can modify the interface to his or her liking.…”

Towards individual service provisioning

With the emergence of modularized component-based electronic services, such as Web Services and semantically tagged services, Individual Service Provisioning, wherein any user can be a service provider, can become a reality. We argue that there are three basic requirements for such an architecture: a personal service platform for using services, tools for creating services, and a network for sharing services, and we present our motivation, design, and implementation of these parts. With our enabling architecture we hope to demonstrate a feasible prototype system that stimulates the emergence of more specialized services for all users.
