Industrial application integration using agent-enabled sematic SOA: Capnet case study

Abstract

The paper addresses the issues of industrial application integration in business processes using agent enabled Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). in this paper, we show that agent-enabled SOA can play an important role for service integration. Our architecture combines Web services and intelligent agent technologies orchestrated by a business process management system. This architecture is grounded in a semantic service integration model and supported by the CAPNET agent platform tools. We describe the architecture and illustrate the approach by an industrial application scenario from petroleum wells' drilling. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
