Abstract : State-of-the-art development of distributed software
systems is, among other software development techniques, fundamentally
based on the paradigm of distributed "software services". Such services
may already exist or may be newly developed for specific application
purposes. They are able to interact - also in open and heterogeneous
distributed software environments - based on standardised interfaces and
inter-connection protocols as, e.g., provided by related "Web Services"
standards. On the application side, a service-based software development
paradigm reflects directly modern (e.g. business) scenarios which are
increasingly structured as sets of distributed co-operating entities.
Such applications often involve many and heterogeneous services from
various sources - both internally as well as from external sources.
Based on such elementary services, "business procedures" implement more
complex business semantics by composing services - even in dynamically
changing environments - according to predefined (functional as well as
non-functional) application needs. If, finally, such service become more
"independent" and act "autonomously" in order to achieve given
(abstract) goals and characteristics, services as well as business
procedures may increasingly become "self-organised" according to another
actual distributed software paradigm. Based on such an approach, the EU
Network of Excellence on "Software Services and Systems" (S-Cube)
coordinates and conducts European research in the area of
service-oriented development of distributed software and applications.
It aims at establishing agile and holistic service engineering and
adaptation principles, techniques and methods to foster innovation for
preparing new service technologies integration by establish a unified
and multidisciplinary research community.
