Abstract

Web service is an important technology in open distributed system. But because of the dynamical and heterogeneous nature of Web services, it is difficult to be managed directly. On the other hand, multi-agent system provides a model for automatic discovery, negotiation and cooperation. It can be designed as a container of Web services for autonomic management. This paper provides a policy-driven model based on multi-agent system that encapsulates the Web service as an agent. It can supervise the dynamical agents and Web services that may join in or leave out at run time according to high-level policies or business requirements
