Abstract

Communities of agent-based web services are virtual groups gathering functionally equivalent web services having different non-functional attributes. Building reputable communities hosting reliable web services is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose a mechanism that web services through associated agents can use to join existing communities. Key components of this mechanism are agents providing information about potential members of communities. Analyzing incentives for these agents to reveal accurate information is the main contribution of this paper.
