Résumé
This paper presents a framework for specifyingWeb
services communities. A Web service is an accessible application
that humans, software agents, and other applications in general
can discover, compose, and invoke in order to satisfy users' needs
like hotel booking. Web services providing the same functionality
are gathered into one community, independently of their origins.
This framework shows how software agents that are able to
argue, negotiate, and reason about Web services can be used
to specify these Web services and to manage their respective
communities. The use of what we call argumentative agents
helps Web services in being better organized within communities
and in achieving the goals for which they are conceived. The
community is led by a master component, which among others
attracts new Web services to the community, retains existing
Web services in the community, and identifies the Web services
in the community that will participate in composite Web services.
All these operations are managed by interacting agents through
flexible conversations made up by argumentation, persuasion,
and negotiation phases called dialogue games.
