Abstract

With business processes changing constantly, it becomes of crucial importance to equip web services with a series of mechanisms so that they are progressively capable of adapting themselves without any or with very limited human interference. These changes in web service will often lead to interoperability conflicts. To deal with these conflicts, this paper focuses on the use of generic adapters. We show how a generic adapter can solve a number of protocol mismatches, and how adapter configuration can be turned into a feasible task. For this (re)configuration we look at the field of self-adaptive software.
