Abstract

Components in open environments are reusable and loosely coupled, enter and leave organizations, but even the most reusable service is not useful if it cannot be found by those responsible for creating potential consumers. In this paper a Service Facilator Agent (SFA) is presented to deal with service management in Open Multi-Agent Systems. The SFA functionality is based on semantic web services and provides an accurate service composition based on planning techniques and being aware of service execution time.
