---+++ Web Services Session at the [[InterOpMay2003][IVOA Interoperability Meeting]], 12-16 May 2003

I presented a short talk about the <FONT COLOR="red">e</FONT>STAR project, and the implications of the technologies emerging from this work on Web and Grid Services, at the Interoperability Meeting at Cambridge in May.

*<FONT COLOR="red">e</FONT>STAR: Intelligent Agents and Web Services*

The <FONT COLOR="red">e</FONT>STAR Project is a programme to build a prototype robotic telescope
network. Intelligent Agent technology has proved to be a vital part of
this project, providing unified access to archive data, to telescopes
and to bibliographic data by carrying out resource discovery, data
mining and observing tasks. We discuss details of agent technology, and
outline why we believe that the main user of the proposed Grid will be
software agents rather than human astronomers. We also discuss the the
implications for web and grid services, with agents being both
consumers and providers of such services.
