Abstract
Service-orientation has become the leading paradigm for modern IT system design and development as service-oriented system design has great potential for improving the efficiency and quality of the IT systems. This paper presents a model-driven approach for the generic integration of service-oriented architectures (SOA) and multi-agent systems (MAS). In fact, a model transformation from SoaML—a metamodel for SOA—to Pim4Agents—a platform independent metamodel for MAS—is utilized for integration. The relevance of this approach is proven by applying it to a real-world industry scenario.
