Enabling agent reasoning over the web

Published: 19 September 2013 Publication History

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce a preliminary system that provides reasoning services over the Web. The system is based on extending the EMERALD framework for agent based reasoning services with a Web service interface. The approach is exemplified using an intelligent brokering sample scenario that involves the defeasible reasoners included into the EMERALD framework.
