The service-oriented computing paradigm is based on the assumption that existing services can be put together in order to obtain new composite services. This chapter focuses on how peer-to-peer architectures based on multi-agent systems can be used to build highly dynamic and reconfigurable infrastructure that support dynamic composition of grid services. The chapter starts by providing an overview of key technologies for SOC. It then introduces dynamic service composition and challenges of composing grid services. The authors further motivate for Multi-agent system approach in SOC and why it becomes important in service composition. They then present our research effort, AIDSEC, an agent-based infrastructure for dynamic service composition, describing its architecture, implementation and comparison with some related work in the literature. In addition, the chapter raises some emerging trends in SOC and the particular challenges they pose to service composition. They conclude by suggesting that a solution based on multi-agent system is required for composing services that possess capabilities of autonomy, reliability, flexibility, and robustness.

Composite Services

Service-Orientated Computing (SOC) has become a main trend in software engineering that promotes the construction of applications based on the notion of services. SOC has recently attracted the researchers' attention and has been adopted industry-wide. However, service composition that enables one to aggregate existing services into a new composite service is still a highly complex and critical task in service-oriented technology. To enhance availability of composite services, we propose a discovery-based service composition framework to better integrate component services in both static and dynamic manner, including (1) to devise a notion of service availability especially for composition; (2) to develop a dynamic service composition (DSC) pattern for addressing the issues of service availability; and (3) to extend Contract Net Protocol (ECNP) to coordinate service discovery, composition and invocation based on the composite pattern. The main benefit of the proposed approach is better availability through attaching multiple candidate services for future binding.
