Matching Techniques

This chapter introduces a hybrid ontology mediation approach for deploying Semantic Web Services (SWS) using Multi-agent systems (MAS). The methodology that the authors have applied combines both syntactic and semantic matching techniques for mapping ontological schemas so as to 1) eliminate heterogeneity; 2)provide higher precision and relevance in matched results; 3) produce better reliability and 4) achieve schema homogeneity. The authors introduce a hybrid matching algorithm i.e. SRS (Semantic Relatedness Score) which is a composite matcher that comprises thirteen well established semantic and syntactic algorithms which have been widely used in linguistic analysis. This chapter provides empirical evidence via several hypothesis tests for validating our approach. A detailed mapping algorithm as well as a Multi-agent based system (MAS) prototype has been developed for brokering Web services as proof-of-concept and to further validate the presented approach. Agent systems today provide brokering services that heavily rely on matching algorithms that at present focus mainly only on syntactic matching techniques. The authors provide empirical evidence that their hybrid approach is a better solution to this problem.

Orientation Systems

The vision which is making its way in information technology is to encapsulate organizations’ functionalities within appropriate interfaces and advertise them as one or more Web services, which could be integrated, when brought into play, in workflows. This innovative idea brings with it new outstanding opportunities but also new great issues, related mainly to the ability to automatically discover and compose Web services. Several researchers belonging to the agent community are convinced that this technical area is a natural environment in which the agent technology features can be leveraged to obtain significant advantages. This chapter is aimed at briefly recalling the major results achieved by agent community and showing how their exploitation in the area of service-orientation systems could be very promising.

Multi Agent

In this paper we present a decoupled architectural approach that allows software agents to interoperate with enterprise systems using Web services. The solution leverages existing technologies and standards in order to reduce the time-to-market and increase the adoption of agent-based applications. We present case studies of applications that have been enhanced by our proposal.

Memory Complexity

Widespread access to low-cost, high computing power allows for increased computerization of everyday life. However, high-performance computers alone cannot meet the demands of systems such as the Internet of Things or multi-agent robotic systems. For this reason, modern design methods are needed to develop new and extend existing projects. Because of high interest in this subject, many methodologies for designing the aforementioned systems have been developed. None of them, however, can be considered the default one to which others are compared to. Any useful methodology must provide some tools, versatility, and capability to verify its results. This paper presents an algorithm for verifying the correctness of multi-agent systems modeled as tracking bigraphical reactive systems and checking whether a behavior policy for the agents meets non-functional requirements. Memory complexity of methods used to construct behavior policies is also discussed, and a few ways to reduce it are proposed. Detailed examples of algorithm usage have been presented involving non-functional requirements regarding time and safety of behavior policy execution.
