  1. Using Agent Technology as a Support for an Enterprise Service Bus Paola Mordacci,Agostino Poggi, Carmelo Giovanni Tiso,Paola Turci {paola.mordacci,carmelo.giovanni.tiso}@studenti.unipr.it {poggi,turci}@ce.unipr.it

  2. Service Oriented Architecture Features HTTP CORBA Web Application Legacy SW A baseline of concepts and principles and a strategic vision have emerged Logical view • A service is an abstracted, logical view of actual programs, databases, business processes Message orientation • A service is defined in terms of the messages exchanged between the parts Description orientation • A service is described by machine-processable meta data Granularity • Services tend to use a small number of operations with relatively large and complex messages Platform neutral • Messages are sent in a platform-neutral, standardized format (XML) RMI ODBC Java Application SOA Data Base JCA .NET REMOTING .NET Application ERP, CRM Definition • There is no one recognized definition of SOA • SOA is an architectural style that supports service orientation • Service orientation is a way of thinking in terms of services and service-based development.

  3. Service Oriented Architecture HTTP CORBA Web Application Legacy SW Problems • Rely on static syntactical description of service interfaces • They guarantee services binding at design time • Do not address service selection based on a dynamic assessment of nonfunctional attributes • They guarantee syntactic interoperability, but they fail to provide semantic operability RMI ODBC Java Application SOA Data Base JCA .NET REMOTING .NET Application ERP, CRM Open issues • How to efficiently discover Web services • Semantic annotations • Federations and peer-to-peer discovery • How to allow and facilitate their composition • Semantic annotations • Workflow technologies • AI techniques

  4. Multi-AgentSystems for EAI HTTP CORBA Web Application Legacy SW RMI ODBC Java Application ? Data Base JCA .NET REMOTING .NET Application ERP, CRM MAS Interesting Features • Sociability • ACL • Cooperation and negotiation • FIPA specifications • Integration ability • Legacy systems • Web services and other SOA technologies • Workflow technologies • Semantic Web technologies

  15. SOA vs. JBI/ESB • SOA and ESB Are More Than Different Answers to the Same Problem • ESB is designed assuming a world of horizontal layers - such as database, application logic, … SOA is designed for a world of vertical slices through the IT infrastructure - such as ordering, fulfillment, billing, etc. Computerworld 2005

  16. SOA vs. JBI/ESB • JBI is a Java standard for structuring business integration systems along SOA lines. It defines an environment for plug-in components that interact using a services model based directly on WSDL 2.0. Using JBI for Service-Oriented Integration (SOI) Ron Ten-Hove, Sun Microsystems January 27, 2006 • The ESB as a Pattern for SOA The Role of the Enterprise Service Bus W.
