Abstract
The several Semantic Web Services (SWS) initiatives seems to really pave the way for supporting autonomous and goal-oriented behavior during the whole service providing life-cycle. The main results based on service ontology languages, e.g., OWL-S, allow for automatic discover, invocation, and composition of services reducing the human intervention at a minimum. Nevertheless, the SWS approaches have not focused enough on the analysis and design phases in order to support discover, composition, and the service ontology definition also at design time. On the contrary, our approach aims to illustrate possible advantages when considering the Tropos analysis and design levels over the SWS technologiesI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
