Web Services Agent Integration Project

Overview

The Web Services Agent Integration project has been developed within the Agentcities.NET project (ID: ACNET.02.42). The purpose of the Web Services Agent Integration project is to make a transition between the agent world and the web services world. This means that it would be possible to publish an agent as a web service.

The implementation of the project consists of two main components: the Agent Gateway (WSAG) and the Agent Generator. The Agent Gateway does the actual transition from agents to web services. The Agent Generator is a supporting tool for generating Gateway Agents - entities which provide a concrete web service interface for a particular agent.

The Agent Gateway (WSAG) and the Agent Generator are both implemented using JADE.
