Abstract
In this paper we describe the service execution platform for the MAMS service framework which is an agent based platform for the execution of services and service compositions. The MAMS framework supports non-IT-experts in the process of generating, deploying and executing new service compositions. It features an elaborate graphical service creation environment, a service execution platform based on intelligent agents and it supports telecommunication specific functionalities like the IP-Multimedia Subsystem. We have created a distributed service execution environment, which utilises agent technology to improve scalability, platform management and stability. We will show how agent technologies help attaining distributed service oriented systems.
