The coordination between agent service and Web service is the key factor for intelligent Web service management in the multi-agent based Web service framework. In view of the drawbacks of existing coordination approaches for agent service and Web service, this paper proposed a multiagent and workflow-based Web service management model. Through analyzing the interaction relations between agent s...

In our paper we present our rule-based system for semantic processing. In particular we show examples and solutions that may be challenge our approach. We then discuss problems and shortcomings of Task 2 – iSTS. We comment on the existence of a tension between the inherent need to on the one side, to make the task as much as possible “semantically feasible”. Whereas the detailed presentation an...

Maintaining and supporting the software of an organization is not an easy task, and software maintainers do not currently have access to tools to evaluate strategies for improving the specific activities of software maintenance. This article presents a web-based training approach using a knowledge-based system which helps in locating best practices in a software maintenance capability maturity ...

The work presented in this paper is part of an ongoing effort to study suitable task assignment mechanisms for decentralized MAS. Our focus is on systems that are characterized by tasks with delayed commencement. Such a task requires a preceding effort before the agent can start executing the task. An example is a robot that first has to move to the location of a task before it can start execut...

This paper describes an agent-based software architecture that intends to close the gap between hybrid systems and software agent architectures. The developed concepts and tools provide support for: task design, task planning, task execution, task coordination and task analysis for a multirobot system. Copywright © IFAC

Knowledge management is used for handling knowledge and activities in real world context. However, knowledge management can also be used for the modelling of robot activities in a real world context. Although robot technology is still under development, Intelligent Service Robots are slowly becoming a reality. The programming of these robots to support a closer interaction with the users is a c...
