Abstract
.Service-oriented architecture (SOA) refers to a software paradigm to develop systems where it is a collection of services in essence, the services of which communicate with each other. The communication not only can engage simple data passing but also can connect two or more services coordinating some activities. Cross-platform communication among systems is used to describe as Information Technology in assisting and managing any work or transaction activity without any interruption. Web services are distributed software components that support cross-platform communication among applications over a network. Currently, there are many specifications and deployment styles of Web services to construct SOA applications as well as several implementation techniques and technologies. However, integration and communication among cross-platforms cannot be guaranteed due to differences in application deployment, versions of Web service standards and the specifications supported. Middleware has become the accepted system to connect cross-platforms and distributed applications, and the Message Oriented Middleware is the most difficult to ignore in integration and communication of distributed systems. The proposed solution is a novel framework to automate the integration and communication among different SOA-based applications based on an extension of the Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) with Agent technology. This framework integrates agent technology for flexibility and adaptively in the communication flow and MOM as a common attach technology for distributed systems. Furthermore, a Translation Model is proposed to facilitate the translation process among different Web service descriptions. The aim is to provide a generic and autonomic translation process to support the cross-platform communication framework. As a proof of the concept, the research work is projected on a case study of the real world SOA application for an agent-based trading system.
