a mobile agent based framework for web services
Web Services are emerging as a major technology to enable dynamic service discovery, composition, and invocation. On the other hand, software agents provide a distinctive capability in mediating user goals to determine service invocations. Web services and agent technologies have different problems that limit their functionality when applied separately. It is widely recognized that integrating these two technologies in a joint environment can overcome their problems while strengthening their advantages. There exists a communication gap between them. The major reason is that agents are not compatible with widely accepted standards of Web services. In response to the mentioned problems, this paper presents a mobile agent framework for Web services integration.
