Complex Adaptive services

The duality between service providers and services consumers is a basic pattern of service oriented computing. A service oriented approach to business processes and to adaptive interacting processes requires an additional pattern based on the, possibly online, interaction between specification, execution and evaluation of basic processes. These two patterns combine into composed processes: the foundations of complex adaptive services. The management of the dynamics of such services is then obtained by additional processes distributed over the network of interactions of the basic and composed processes. The double triad architecture so obtained is inspired from quark-antiquark models of particle physics.
