The increasing number and growing complexity of distributed systems
in current dynamic business environments requires more sophisticated methods
and technologies to tackle the related emerging issues and requirements. Software
agents, an AI-based technology, has demonstrated its potential in dealing with uncoordinated
heterogeneous distributed systems. Service-oriented computing, which
has evolved and learned lessons from Internet and distributed object technologies,
has attracted significant interest from industry and academia for the development of
distributed enterprise systems. This chapter gives an overview of the characteristics
of agents and services and the relationships between them by analysing their modelling
methods, supporting specifications, and platforms for system development.
We argue that although the focus of these two technologies is diverse, they have
great potential to complement each other to advance distributed applications. In this
chapter we also introduce the remaining chapters of this book
