Service Composition and
Coordination
(KM-SC) |
|
|
|
Multi-agent systems can deploy various
coordination and cooperation techniques (such as contract net) to implement the execution
of composed services. [Micsik et al. 2009] |
Service Infrastructure
(KM-SI) |
|
|
|
Multi-agent systems are capable
to monitor and manage resource and service provisioning by applying
sensors to monitor the state of resources or services and using
effectors to control the operation of these resources.

A multi-agent system (MAS) consists of agents that
jointly solve a given problem by coordinating their individual
behaviors. A multi-agent system is being formed by the inter-relations
of the agents, not by an explicitly given problem. [BREIN
