ABSTRACT

Web services (WS) are software components that offer functionalities for users through Internet. WS composition is a way to fulfill a complex request which can't be achieved by a single service. WS composition's approaches do not offer a dynamic and adaptative composition. In this paper, we defend recursive multi-agent systems as efficient tools to solve this problem and we propose a recursive multi-agent system based model for dynamic and adaptative WS composition.
