Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes a brokering platform for the provision of complex services over the Internet. The platform is able to analyse a request for a complex service, divide it into simple components, and combine several services and products, offered by different providers, into a solution that satisfies the complex request. The platform helps the user to refine or change the request until a suitable solution is found. After the user agreement, it confirms the transaction to the selected providers. Overall, the client can obtain a complex service, involving several suppliers, in the same way as a simple one. The main innovations of the platform are the use of ontologies to handle the static and dynamic aspects of complex services in different business areas, and the control of the transactional properties of complex services. The system exploits advanced technologies, such as multi-device publishing based on XML, mobile agents, the Enterprise JavaBeans architecture, and the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). |
