Description/functionality
  • A methodology for the design of autonomous systems based on agent technologies is described. The methodology introduces the concept of holons that allow the description of self-organisation in autnomous architectures. This concepts match nicely with the concpets of team-oriented programming in BDI agents, which is adoped in A6 for agent-based model-driven service-composition and choreography. However, the concept of holons is more general.
  • The methodology introduces self-organisation, autonomy, flexibility, and robustness in service-oriented architectures. Interoperability is supported by explaining how general service-oriented architectures could be extended with these propterties
Benefits to interoperabilityThe methodology allows to introduce self-organisaiton, autonomy, flexibiliy, and robustness in service-oriented architectures. Interoperability is supported by explaining how general service-oriented architectures could be extended with these propterties.
