Semantic Web Services as Behavior-Oriented Agents (pdf)
David Martin, Sheila I. McIlraith, Lynn Andrea Stein and Joanna J. Bryson, 2002.
We wrote two versions of the same paper. This is the shorter and somewhat cleaner one. IEEE Computer rewrote this a bit into something called Toward Behavioral Intelligence in the Semantic Web for a special issue. More technical details are in a Springer chapter which can be found above under 2003. Both the book and the IEEE Computer special issue are about Web Intelligence, and edited by Ning Zhong, Jiming Liu, and Yiyu Yao. The papers recommend that the semantic web be viewed as containing intelligence, not just information. They also provide recommendations for altering the DAML-S spec. to better support this. Read about it in Russian. Updated 25 July, 12 October & 7 July 2002, respectively.
