APPLYING AGENT-ORIENTED MODELLING AND PROTOTYPING TO SERVICE-ORIENTED SYSTEMS

Abstract

A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a form of distributed systems architecture, which is essentially a collection of services. Web services are built in the distributed environment of the Internet, enabling the integration of applications in a web environment. In this paper, we show how agent-oriented conceptual modelling techniques can be used to model service-oriented systems and architectures and how these models can be executed. The resulting executable specification environment permits us to support early rapid prototyping of the service-oriented systems, at varying levels of abstraction.
