Abstract.
Challenges
for approaches, dealing with services, Service Composition, and Service
Coordination, are the complex aspects of a (composite) service and its domain
specific constrains. Ideas of services and
policies of different domains are often
incompatible. Service Grounding and
Service Deployment as well as the observation of non-functional
service characteristics are additional reasons
for the complexity of service composition in practice. For a general
understanding, the different aspects of a
service are discussed. In order to take advantage of well-established methods,
the paper proposes a framework based on agents,
called ACTAS, for the pre-selection of Service
Providers on the basis of principally
compatible and available services. Compatibility and services are described
with semantic characteristics in a declarative way.
The adaptability of the composition is created
through the behavioural semantic of the
Service Properties defined in the context of the characteristics. The
behavioural semantic allows the use of well-established
methods for
dealing with relevant Service Properties. We suggest ontological repositories,
containing service description components instead of
complete Service
Descriptions.
Title: "Adaptive Traders for Communication in
Cooperative Rooms"

Note: Accepted for publication in a special issue
Abstract: In distributed systems, traders mediate between clients and
service providers. This paper introduces a trading model, which supports
multiagent systems (MAS) and goes beyond simple trading in three ways: 1.
Service composition - The trader composes complex services of the current
service offers. During the composition, it checks the availability of the
service offers. 2. Use of group agents - In MAS, there often exist agents
representing a group of other agents. Group agents represent a group of
agents with their individual policies and other context information. The
trader can use the group agent's information for a pre-selection of service
offers. 3. Adaptability - The trading model uses the notion of clients' trust
into services and adapts to the clients' preferences and system policies. The
paper contains further an application of this trading model tois used in a
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) scenario, in which the trader
finds adequate communication services for project teams with geographically
distributed members.

Abstract: The paper introduces the research area Cooperative Rooms
(COR) of GMD-SIT (GMD - German National Research Centre for Information
Technology). Goal of this CSCW research is an open and flexible system supporting
the project work of a distributed team. The realisation of COR will be based
on a multiagent system (MAS). Some aspects of this realization are described.
In order to achieve transparency for communication between the team members
represented by agents, a trader team members´ communication requests is
necessary. Concepts for realization of such a trading system as part of the
MAS of COR are introduced. The trader has to be able to combine flexibly
different currently available communication services for one communication
request. The approach of trading has to react to dynamically changing
communication environments. A further goal is to learn about the user
preferences and policies.

Abstract: We introduce the research area Cooperative Rooms (COR) of
GMD-SIT (GMD – German National Research Centre for Information Technology).
Goal of this CSCW research is an open and flexible system supporting the
project work of a distributed team. The realisation of COR will be based on a
multiagent system (MAS). We describe some aspects of this realisation. In
order to achieve transparency for communication between the team members
represented by agents, a trader matching team members' communication requests
is necessary. For classical traders this requires a common specification
ontology, which counters the principle of openness. Therefore, we introduce
an alternative approach [21], where intelligent clients adapt to
recommendations of traders providing only rough matches.

Title: "A pragmatic type concept for Prolog
supporting polymorphism, subtyping and meta-programming"

Abstract: Approaches to
typing logic programs often exclude various features of Standard Prolog. The
system "Typical for annotated Prolog" (TaP) is a pragmatic approach
to type checking programs written in Prolog without restricting the scope of
the language. TaP checks Prolog programs that are extended with type
declarations that support parametric polymorphism and subtyping. The purpose
of this paper is to present an approach that extends Typical by
meta-types for handling Prolog meta-programming techniques.
