The fundamental requirements to be satisfied by the manufacturing plants and control systems of the future include the needs for autonomous interoperable sub-systems and devices. In addition to that, multi-agent and holonic systems have been the subject of great attention.
A service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a very good candidate to fulfill these requirements and to provide a pratical implementation of the agent systems.
A service-oriented architecture is defined as a set of architectural tenets for building autonomous yet interoperable systems.
Web Services technology constitutes the preferred implementation vehicle for service-oriented architectures.
The SIRENA Project has demonstrated that it was possible to integrate Web services technology in embedded real-time industrial devices.
The track about "Service-oriented architectures" in the agent WG will have for objective to lead the discussion about using service-oriented architecture in industrial applications (including agent-based architectures), and more specifically about Web services usage in industrial devices and applications, including mechanisms and protocols, software components, industrial tools for application design, debug and test, simulation, diagnostic and monitoring, web services content standardization for industrial applications.
