Agent Architecture for Semantic Web Servicing — Planning or Interpreting? —

Abstract

Semantic Web Services coined with Semantic Webs and Web Services has become to be deemed a cornerstone for the next generation of IT. Autonomous agents that discover, composite, and invoke Web Services without human intervention will play an important role to fulfill the hype in IT industry, accompanied with task and domain ontology on everyday life. In this paper, the ascription and description of Semantic Web Service Agents to task and domain ontology is discussed, and a general architecture for Semantic Web Service Agents are investigated. The agents should be cognitive at not only annotated Web contents (domain ontology) and Web Services (task ontology) but also changes in the outer-world, be a situated planner, and be capable of learning from experience. We need an intelligent framework for the universal agent that performs task ontology with situated awareness and planning.
