This comprehensive text_explains the principles and practice of Web services and relates all concepts to practical examples and emerging standards._ Its discussions include: Ontologies Semantic web technologies Peer-to-peer service discovery Service selection Web structure and link analysis Distributed transactions Process modelling Consistency management._ The_application of these technologies_is clearly explained_within the context of_planning, negotiation, contracts, compliance, privacy, and network policies. The_presentation of_the intellectual underpinnings of Web services draws from several key disciplines such as databases, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems for techniques and formalisms._ Ideas from these disciplines are united in the context of Web services and service-based applications._ Featuring an accompanying website and teacher's manual that includes a complete set of transparencies for lectures, copies of open-source software for exercises and working implementations, and resources to conduct course projects, this book makes an excellent graduate textbook._ It will also prove an invaluable reference and training tool for_practitioners.

Distributed computing is of great significance in current and future research and applications of computer science. As a consequence, in artificial intelligence we can observe rapid growth in the subfield of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI). In particular research on multiagent systems and their potential applications currently attract a lot of interest. This monograph presents recent research and an introductory survey on multiagent systems and some other aspects of DAI. The author describes these systems as composed of intelligent entities, the agents, with intentions, beliefs, know-how, and communicating with each other, furthermore, a semantics for multiagent systems in a general logical framework is developed.

This book presents the latest research on the software crowdsourcing approach to develop large and complex software in a cloud-based platform. It develops the fundamental principles, management organization and processes, and a cloud-based infrastructure to support this new software development approach. The book examines a variety of issues in software crowdsourcing processes, including software quality, costs, diversity of solutions, and the competitive nature of crowdsourcing processes. Furthermore, the book outlines a research roadmap of this emerging field, including all the key technology and management issues for the foreseeable future. Crowdsourcing, as demonstrated by Wikipedia and Facebook for online web applications, has shown promising results for a variety of applications, including healthcare, business, gold mining exploration, education, and software development. Software crowdsourcing is emerging as a promising solution to designing, developing and maintaining software. Preliminary software crowdsourcing practices and platforms, including Apple's App Store and TopCoder, demonstrate the advantages of crowdsourcing in terms of software ecosystem expansion and product quality improvement.
