Abstract

Web services are increasingly behaving as nodes in a digital, dynamic ecosystem. On the one hand, this new situation requires flexible, spontaneous and opportunistic collaboration activities to be identified and established among (business) parties. On the other hand, it also requires engineering approaches able to integrate new functionalities and behaviours into running systems and active, distributed, interdependent processes. In this paper we present a multilevel architecture, combining organisational and coordination theories with model driven development, for the implementation, deployment and management of dynamic, flexible and robust service-oriented business applications.
