Abstract:

In this talk, we present a service composition tool which enables specification of composite services by users with limited programming experiences. We view composite services as a loose form of teamwork of a user agent and service providers, which enables us to use an existing model of teamwork as a basis of our work. We also present an extension to the current model of teamwork to achieve flexible and robust execution of composite services.
