Requirement Driven Agent Collaboration Based on Functional Ontology and AMD

With the increasing of Web services in Internet, composing existing services for satisfying new requirements has gained daily expanding attentions and interests. Many efforts have been pursued for supporting the essential activities in service composition. However, the existing techniques only focus on passive services which are waiting there for being discovered and invoked, we argue that it might be more attractive when Web services become active entities (service agent) distributed in Internet which can recognize the newly emergent requirements and compete with others for realize (part of) the requirements. Sometimes, more than one service agents have to collaborate to satisfy the requirements. That could be called as the requirement driven agent collaboration. This paper proposes a preliminary model for the requirement driven agent collaboration based on a functional ontology and the automated mechanism design
