ABSTRACT
It is more and more important to promote Web Services architecture which is based on XML technology. The objective of this paper is to combine collaborative mechanism of agent society into Web Services architecture and then increases the rate of reuse services. This architecture is composed of the register center agent, the service provider agent and the service requester agent to help requesters to retrieve services. When a new service is deployed, the register center agent will send the suitable information to the requesters in which are interested. The requester can find services quickly from the website of book store through the system. The contributions of the paper are (1)combine web services and intelligent agent society; (2)since the agent's assistance, register center deal with most process automatically;(3)provide and register services had became easily;(4)service requester can establish the connection with the service provider directly after obtain the WSDL file from register center.
Keywords : Web Services, Agent, agent society, WSDL
