Kaos Semantic Policy and Domain Services

An Application of DAML to Web Services-Based Grid Architectures

  • Chapter
Extending Web Services Technologies

Part of the book series: Multiagent Systems, Artificial Societies, and Simulated Organizations ((MASA,volume 13))

Abstract

This paper introduces a version of KAoS Semantic Policy and Domain Services that has been developed to support Web Services-based (i.e., OGSA-compliant) Grid Computing Architectures. While initially oriented to the dynamic and complex requirements of software agent applications, KAoS services are now being extended to work equally well with both agent and non-agent clients on a variety of more general distributed computing platforms. The OGSA-compliant version of KAoS services allows fine-grained policy-based management of registered Grid services as well as opening additional opportunities for the use of agents on the grid.
