Abstract
In a market-based service composition, there may be a high number of available service implementations with the same functionality and different Quality of Service (QoS), so requiring QoS{based service selection mechanisms. In this work, service providers and customers are modeled as software agents, and automated agent negotiation is used to dynamically select the services whose QoS values satisfy the customer's requirements. Orthogonal bidding strategies are extended and applied to the case of negotiation for market-based service composition, where different provider agents compete to provide the same service, to find Pareto optimal agreements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
