Explicações de agentes de composição de serviços WEB

Explanation of composition of Web Services performed by agents solving problems. With the arrival of new technological patterns related to the integration of components through web services and the popularization of service-oriented architectures, it is visible that web services are a promising technology for an effective automation of the integration process of distributed and web-independent applications. This integration process has led to the conception of the so-called "virtual organizations", where organizations are dynamically coupled/composed in a way to attend to a specific objective (or many). In parallel, software agents begin to play a new role: the problem solving one. In this case, agents search, compose and execute services that are available on the web in order to solve problems specified by users or by another program/agent. The dynamism and automatism of this composition can imply doubts, what justifies the need for explanation. Our research focuses on explanation of automatic and semi-automatic composition of web services performed by agents solving problems. This project is under development.
