Intelligent Services Development Technology Using the IACPaaS Cloud Platform

The paper presents a technology for the development of intelligent multi-agent services. This technology is put to reduce the labor-intensiveness of their creation and maintenance. Its key aspect is an independent development of knowledge and databases, a user interface and a problem solver (as a set of agents), and their assembly into an intelligent service. The principal specifics of the technology are: two-level ontological approach to the formation of knowledge and databases with a clear separation between the ontology and information formed on its basis; the ontology-based specification of not only the domain terminology and structure, but also of the rules for knowledge and data formation, control of their integrity and completeness; division of all software components into procedural and declarative parts; unified semantic representation of the latter (including declarative parts of software components), etc. The proposed approaches are implemented on the IACPaaS cloud platform where expert-oriented formation of each service component with an appropriate tool is provided. An example of service development which demonstrates the technology usage is given.
