Abstract

The World-Wide Web is evolving from an environment for people to obtain information to an environment for computers to accomplish tasks on behalf of people. The resultant Semantic Web will be computer-friendly through the introduction of standardized Web services. This paper describes how Web services will become more agent-like, and how the envisioned capabilities and uses for the Semantic Web will require implementations in the form of multiagent systems. It also describes how the resultant agent-based Web services will yield unprecedented levels of software robustness.
