Dynamic Agent Composition from Semantic Web Services
Abstract. The shift from Web pages to Web services enables programmatic access to the near limitless information on the World Wide Web. Autonomous agents should generate concise answers to complex questions by invoking the right services with the right data. However, traditional methods of programming automated query processing capabilities are inadequate for two reasons: as Web services become more abundant, it becomes difficult to manually formulate the query process; and, services may be temporarily unavailable – typically just when they are needed.

MPAC relies on a planning algorithm and semantic descriptions of services in the Web Ontology Language/Resource Description Framework (OWL/RDF) and the Web Ontology Language-Services (OWL-S) frameworks.
