Abstract

The web services set of standards promise the dynamic creation of loosely coupled systems, such as those that are required for e-commerce applications. However, current approaches for web services lack key functionality, especially to locate, select, and bind services meeting certain criteria of quality. We propose an approach wherein software agents assist in this task by disseminating reputations and endorsements through a specialized agency, which augments the capabilities of current standards.
