DESIGNING WEB SERVICES COMMUNITIES WITH UML ORIENTED AGENTS

摘要

The incredible growth of the information space, the hard competition between enterprises populating it, the need to collaborate and to share knowledge guiding to better decisions are factors that push Web Services providers to join each other into Web Services communities. Solutions proposed to tackle communities' management lack of a formal and clear design which may alter the system evolving and maintenance. For these reasons, we propose to design and to implement a system able to manage Web Services communities using an agent oriented approach. As illustration, we design and implement a case tool for managing e-health care Web Services communities.
