Abstract

Argumentation theory can improve Web services functionality and help track the composition scenarios these Web services engage in. The authors implement an argumentation theory through a set of software agents that reason about Web services in terms of argumentation and persuasion. Web services enter and leave their respective communities and take part in composition scenarios. All this occurs according to a formal dialogue-game protocol that combines flexible policies comprising persuasion and negotiation phases. Agents' reasoning about Web services is specified using Horn theory. The authors prove that this kind of reasoning can be implemented and theoretically tractable. This article is part of a special issue on argumentation technology.
