Abstract
SANCHEZ, Manuel; AGUILAR, Jose and EXPOSITO, Ernesto. Integrating SOA and MAS in Intelligent Environments. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2018, vol.85, n.206, pp.268-282. ISSN 0012-7353. https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v85n206.68671.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as the dominant architecture for interoperability between applications, by using a weak-coupled model, based on the flexibility provided by Web Services, which has led to a wide range of applications, in what is known as cloud computing. On the other hand, Multiagent System (MAS) is widely used in the industry, because it provides an appropriate solution to complex problems in a proactive and intelligent way. Specifically, the Educational Smart Environments (AmI) obtain great benefits by using both architectures, because MAS endows intelligence to the environment, while SOA enables users to interact with academic services in the cloud. The purpose of this article is to propose an architecture for bidirectional integration SOA-MAS to be used on educational AmI. The proposed solution allows taking advantages of both architectures, and solves integration problems raised in previous researches.
