Abstract:
|
Enterprise systems are increasingly composed of (and even functioning
as) components in a dynamic, digital ecosystem. On the one hand, this new situation
requires flexible, spontaneous and opportunistic collaboration activities to
be identified and established among (electronic) business parties. On the other, it
demands engineering methods that are able to integrate new functionalities and behaviours
into running systems composed by active, distributed, interdependent processes.
Here we present a multi-level architecture that combines organisational and
coordination theories with model driven development, for the implementation, deployment
and management of dynamic, flexible and robust service-oriented business
applications, combined with a service layer that accommodates semantic service
description, fine-grained semantic service discovery and the dynamic adaptation of
services to meet changing circumstances |
