Building Sound Semantic Web Frameworks for Scalable and Fault-Tolerant Systems

Abstract

This chapter introduces hyperservices as a unified application model for Semantic Web frameworks and proposes the WASP model as a framework for implementing them. Hyperservices are based on agent societies, provided with structured information by the Semantic Web, and using Web services as a collaboration and communication interface. The WASP model adds personalization rules to modify the agents’ perception and the HIVE architecture as Semantic Information Server infrastructure within this framework. Finally, conceptual model driven software development is proposed as a means of easy adoption to hyperservices.
