【 摘 要 】

Agents are becoming a popular technology for the development of distributed, heterogeneous and always available systems. In those systems, interactions are essential, but semantic heterogeneity turns the establishment of interaction among agents into a problem. When considering reputation models in multi-agent systems, the lack of a consensus about the reputation definition could be a problem for interactions since they are essential to accelerate the convergence of the reputation evaluation. We propose in this paper a service-oriented architec-ture to deal with this semantic heterogeneity. This architecture supports concept mapping and translation among reputation model ontologies to a common ontology and vice-versa, thus allowing heterogeneous agents interoperability.
