Abstract

Service oriented systems need to be maintained to keep the requestedlevel of service. This is challenge in large grid- and saas based networks that aremanaged by numerous entities. This paper is about supporting multi agent systemsthat operate in the network and support its management by learning actualstructures from life observed logging data. We focus on a collaborative grammarinduction mechanism in which agents share local models in order toretrieve a model of the structure of the total service network. We studied theperformance of groups of agents while varying the size and degree of communication.We motivate the application of the mechanism in the domain of serviceoriented system and show the results of experiments using a distributedagent-based monitoring system. We promote further research in the overlappingscientific disciplines of multi agent systems and machine learning in the applicationdomain of service oriented systems.
