MUSA: a Middleware for User-driven Service Adaptation

One of the current challenges of Service Oriented Engineering is to provide instruments for dealing with dynamic and unpredictable environments and chang- ing user requirements. Traditional approaches based on static workflows provide little support for adapting at run- time the flow of activities. MUSA (Middleware for User-driven Service Adapta- tion) is a holonic multi-agent system for the self-adaptive composition and orchestration of services in a distributed environment.
