ISCF: A Semantic Web Service Composition Framework Based on OAA

Through providing an execution environment for semantic web services, SWSF (Semantic Web Service Framework) can facilitate automatic web service delivery, discovery, selection, invoking, composition and interoperation. However, each of those ongoing approaches does not satisfy all basic requirements of SWSF, e.g. OWL-S (Ontology Language of Web Service) does not offer the mechanism for automatic web service tasks' execution and WSMO can not describe the composition of web services in a structural way yet. So, in order to provide a fully- fledged SWSF, we present the ISCF (Integrated Service Composition Framework) which is based on the OAA (Open Agent Architecture ). We describe the technical characters and design objectives of ISCF from global and detailed view. Comparing with other SWSFs, ISCF has more extensible and autonomous distributed architecture, and has more complete and effective web service automatization. In addition, ISCF provide some useful tools to help users design semantic web services and manage ISCF system.
