This paper presents HAUTO, a framework able to compose convergent services automatically. HAUTO is based in HTN (hierarchical task networks) Automated Planning and is composed of three modules: a request processing module that transforms natural language and context information into a planning instance, the automated composition module based on HTN planning and the execution environment for convergent (Web and telecom) services. The integration of a planning component provides two basic functionalities: the possibility of customizing the composition of services using the user context information and a middleware level that integrates the execution of services in high performance telecom environments. Finally, a prototype in environmental early warning management is presented as a test case.
Este artículo presenta HAUTO, un framework que permite componer automáticamente servicios convergentes. HAUTO se basa en la planificación automática basada en redes jerárquicas de tareas HTN y se compone de tres módulos: un módulo de procesamiento de la solicitud, que transforma el lenguaje natural e información del contexto en una instancia de planificación, el módulo de composición automática basado en la planificación HTN; y el tercero, es el entorno de ejecución para servicios convergentes (Web y Telecom). La integración de un componente de planificación provee dos funcionalidades básicas: la posibilidad de personalizar la composición de los servicios usando la información del contexto del usuario y un middleware que se integra con la ejecución de los servicios en entornos de Telecomunicaciones de alto rendimiento. Finalmente, se presenta como caso de estudio un prototipo para la gestión de alertas ambientales tempranas.
