ICHO: A framework for supporting service cooperation self-organization

This paper proposes a multiagent technology-based framework ICHO for supporting the self-organization of service cooperation, which, based on the model of IGTASC, can remove the “trust” crisis resulted in by the inherent non-controllability of business services across different management domains and be integrated closely with real-life application software by developing three mechanisms: Institution-governed, Contract-ensured, and Hierarchical self-Organization.
