About this book
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) allows software development time to be shortened by the composition of existing services across the Internet. Further exploitation of this revolutionary trend is feasible through automation, thanks to the use of software agents and techniques from distributed artificial intelligence.
This book provides an overview of the related technologies and insight into state-of-the art research results in the field. The topics discussed cover the various stages in the life cycle of service-oriented software development using agent technologies to automate the development process and to manage services in a dynamic environment. The book presents both academic research results and the latest developments from industry.
Researchers from academia and industry, as well as postgraduates, will find this cutting-edge volume indispensable in order to gain understanding of the issues associated with agent-based service-oriented computing along with recent, and likely future technology trends.

Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book provides insights into the issues related to the convergence of agent-based and service-oriented computing methods. … The book’s strength lies in its use of simple, example-based algorithms for various important attributes of service-oriented and agent-based computing. … an encyclopedia for readers who are interested in conducting research on agent-based and service-oriented computing. Practitioners will find this book useful for understanding the underlying principles of these two contemporary methods, and will thus be able to use them appropriately to design and develop user-centered services.” (Harekrishna Misra, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2011)
