Abstract

Integration capabilities are a key feature of today’s enterprise software systems; therefore, integration capabilities are necessary if Multi Agent Systems are to be successful on the enterprise current software landscape. This paper starts by presenting some remarks on exposing agent actions as web services, its pros and cons; then we present the results of exposing an agent action as a web service by exercising a contract net among agents and by invoking the contract net from a web service.
