Abstract:

Service agent can make use of its own functions and external software services to provide the outside with highlevel services. In order to offer more synthetic functions, service agents should cooperate with each other. A service composition approach based on multiagent learning mechanism is proposed. Its unique feature is that, through learning, agents can improve the speed of solving similar problems after several runs of learning. Firstly, the framework for service composition based on service agents is introduced. Secondly, the multiagent learning mechanism is explained in detail. Finally, the experiment and its results are also given.

Key words: service composition;service agent;multiagent learning
