Abstract :
This paper provides an update on our Multiagent Web Service Composition Engine which was entered in the first Web Service Composition Challenge at the EEE-05 conference. This paper explores the rational behind the selection of a multiagent architecture for service composition problems and demonstrates the relevance of interaction based computation. Rather than describing the composition algorithm from an AI reasoning perspective, a description of the service composition agents from an interaction perspective is provided.
