ABSTRACT
Web service is considered as the de facto standard to develop various business applications, due to the independence from the associated network, architecture, platform, and organization. However, Web service is still dependent to various internal factors (e.g., the availability of trucks is a limiting factor for the shipping Web service) for satisfying the requirements of customers. The unavailability of such underlying factors affect the existing business agreements made with other service providers, which result in conflict between the service partners. Web service has to handle the conflicts automatically to retain its customers and to improve the business profit. This demo paper illustrates an argumentative agents based approach to handle conflicts between Web services on the fly, using a case study of purchase order scenario.

Composing Web Services: A QoS View
