An Serviceflow-oriented Agent Location And Dynamic Integration

At present, some problems of interconnection, intercommunication, and interoperability exist among distributed information systems and system integration of present legacy system is an important means to build information integration. Versatile need and Internet environment ask system integration for dynamic demand. Considering autonomy and intelligent of Agent, if Agent can be led into the process of system integration, the problem of dynamic integration can be solved.The paper focuses on presenting a dynamic location and integration method of Serviceflow oriented Agent. Based on existing Agent technology and relevant technical research analysis, the paper puts forward an Agent-based Serviceflow model and presents Serviceflow oriented Agent location method with the support of multi-agent system integration framework. With those, integration based on script control is designed, combining integration logics switch smoothly and dynamic exception recovery in integration collaboration, to implement the dynamic system integration. To achieve the variability of integration requirement, script switch obtains the integration logics switch smoothly; and the biding, on the base of improved contract net protocol recovers the exception in integration collaboration dynamically.Finally, the paper takes one distributed information handing system as a test case in which Agent-based system integration is tested. It is proved that serviceflow oriented Agent location and dynamic integration based on script control is valid in the process of system dynamic integration. The paper makes a detailed analysis from two aspects, namely, from function and performance. The result proves that the above methods solve the problem of system dynamic integration and improve the cooperation efficiency of the system.
