Abstract
The paper introduces a novel approach to monitoring of systems in Service-oriented architecture (SOA) with the use of multi-agent paradigms. Intelligent agents located across the system perform asynchronous, distributed measurements separately for each selected service or process. Compliance with required performance measures or SLAs can be defined and appropriate warnings are generated and reported. Alignment with definition of business processes together with proactive nature of agents allows early prediction of problems. The approach is flexible and scalable and naturally reflects the distributed nature of SOA.
The research was supported by the Polish National Budget Funds 2009-2011 for science under the grant N N516 3757 36.
