Service Cooperation-Based Trusted and Autonomic Virtual Organizations

摘要

This paper proposes a multi-agent model for achieving service cooperation-based trusted and autonomic VOs (Virtual organizations), called IGTASC, which depends on three technologies to make service cooperation both trusted and autonomic: institution-governed autonomic cooperation, policy-driven self-management, and community facilitation management. It is the close coupling of those technologies that supports effectively not only the resolution of the so-called "trust" crisis which occurs due to business services across different management domains but also the realization of autonomic service cooperation and hence the large-scale deployment of VOs.
