Abstract
Agent-oriented analysis and design is a prosperous approach to model and build software systems. On the other hand, semantic web services are software components that have been emerging to enable dynamic service discovery, composition, invocation, and provide services, which can be considered as the main function of an agent. Semantic web service composition is a feature that improves the flexibility of the system. In this paper we propose a multi-agent system for web service composition. We modeled it by MaSE (Multi-agent System Engineering) methodology, which is a top-down approach. Also an implementation of our system is illustrated for semantic search engines. The case study shows that our system is feasible and effective for composition of semantic web services in a distributed network.
