Abstract
The limited description, discovery and integration mechanisms of current web service-based systems have many setbacks that hinder the extension and incorporation of dynamic capabilities into these systems. In this paper we present a novel software architecture called intelligent aspect-oriented web services (IAOWS) which addresses these problems and further improves on this technology by allowing for dynamic look-up and integration. IAOWS use a combination of Aspect-Oriented Multi-Agents and aspectual service descriptors for aspect-oriented web services to cater for more complete and thorough descriptions of services, thus supporting better dynamic discovery of both services and components, and their seamless integration and consumption by clients. We describe our IAOWS architecture and an initial implementation using .NET web services technology to engineer and deploy the Multi-Agents and capture the rich cross-cutting aspects together with their behavior and interaction within our highly distributed system.
