Paper Abstract:
|
ebXML is widely accepted as the common platform, described in formal specification using XML, for connecting
heterogeneous business systems. The connection is made by implementing an ebXML system in front of the back-end
system. The ebXML system is divided into the upper business prcoess level, accountinf for business interactions, and the
lower message service level for necessary technological support for the upper level. In this paper, we employ agent
technology to implement the ebXML system. We design and implemtn business service agents and message service
agents for the upper and lower leves, respectively. In particular we use a declarative approach to design the business
service agent which separate the business collaboration knowldeg from the control engine. This results in automatic
transformation from design artifacts into excutable code. We implement a prototype system using open agent
architecture. Based on the system, we carry out experiments by connecting two systems at different sites. User interfaces
are provided to control and monitor the process of collaborations. The system shows promising result in gaining insight
on ebXML collaborations. It provides an excellent basis for further investigation on industry business collaborations. |
