A conceptual and practical framework for web-based processes in multi-agent systems.
In Liz Sonenberg and Charles Sierra, editors, 3rd International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2004), 19-23 August 2004, New York, NY, USA, pages 1464-1465. IEEE Computer Society, 2004.  [link]

Resumen: The Internet provides possibilities for distributed execution of Business processes and Web services. These Web services might be composed to accomplish arbitrary complex tasks. Agents can compose these Web services as long as they know their semantics. Here process ontologies offer a way to give agents an understanding of the services offered. In this paper we discuss an approach to map the service descriptions from an process ontology given in OWL-S to reference nets, high-level Petri nets that can be executed within a simulator. These nets will be executed by agents in a FIPA-compliant multi agent framework enabling them to interact with Web services. Our conceptual framework is supported by the tool {\sl DaGen}.
