Web Service-oriented Collaborative Management of Multi-Agent Supply and Demand Network

Abstract

The paper firstly introduces Web service technique, based on which the paper researches the supply and demand service under Web services-oriented supply and demand network collaborative management system architecture. Agent has features, so the paper focuses on researching integration method of Agent and Web service. The integration and interaction is collaborative. Agent makes Web service have intelligent feature, and can set intention and commitment according to the characteristics of tasks until the demand and supply service is satisfied. And Web service provides cross-platform interaction and sharing for Agent, which promotes the collaborative management of supply and demand network to be networked and intelligent. Web service is a popular technique in information technique field in recent years, and it brings a new network application model. Web service technique is independent of the standard of software suppliers, and it implements cross-platform information system integration and data interaction with the loose coupling form. It is connected by Internet, and it provides service for other enterprises by the operation of release, discovery and binding. It can uniformly encapsulate all kinds of information, data and business process, and it can change the applications to be reusable and flexible components. Web service has the function of visiting enterprise business, which can dynamically discover and integrate supply and demand service of enterprises in real time and realize seamless interoperation of platform and operation system. And the enterprises can componentize core competence by abstracting and mixing, and the componentized core competence can be shared by different enterprises. Once the components based on Web service are deployed to the network, all applications accessing to the network can call and integrate Web services at any time, which not only helps the enterprises to discover or find useful services easily and rapidly, but also realizes the connection of business function of enterprises. Therefore, applying Web service technique to supply and demand network of enterprises not only optimizes the relationship between supply and demand service, but also finally realizes the objective of complementary advantages in resource and mutual benefit of supply and demand network node enterprises.
