Active Semantic Web Services: A programming model for agents in the semantic web
Résumé
In this paper, we propose a programming model for agentsin the semantic web, based on XML. It integrates in a single representation both the structural data description andthe action description. We present an execution model that gives access at runtime to the agent's actions description, soas to be able to answer formal requests about its actions, for instance. We show how this model can 1) integrate com-munication protocols standards for web services (WSDL, DAML-S, etc) and 2) take into account the proactive na-ture of agents in the semantic web, especially for humancomputer interaction.
