Today, those systems became a monster hard to deal with and, extremely high to maintain. Corporations need to make a decision now and chose the appropriate technology to update or rebuild their solutions with customers on mind.

Service Mediation and Adaptation

The assimilation of services through presents major integration development and maintenance costs. Service providers need to compose their services effectively in coordination with other services if they are to engage in oncoming market opportunities and situations. Further up the supply and distribution chain, if services are to be brokered and delivered through other intermediaries (e.g., for authentication, payment, device-specific service presentations), they will need to be interfaced with service delivery components that operate in various ways. Thus, one can expect that services will have to interact with one another in ways not necessarily foreseen during their development or deployment. A key challenge in this setting is service mediation: the act of repurposing existing services so that they can interact in unforeseen manners by intercepting, storing, transforming, and routing messages going into and out of these services.

In wider spanning service ecosystems, several service providers may offer functionally replaceable services that differ in their extra-functional characteristics, such as usage terms and quality of service delivery. Service providers need to be responsive – potentially in real-time – to negotiate variations of service delivery requirements (e.g., price, deliverable timetable). Service ecosystems should therefore explicitly support the negotiation , reducing non-critical human involvement and providing decision-makers with the information they require to formulate and assess service offers.

Internet commerce has created newer forms of service interactions than traditional marketplace transactions. Amazon/UKOnline, single-consumer-to-service transactions – e.g., making customer listings, doing basic look-ups and verification checks, and purchasing goods – are giving way to more distributed, pull-oriented and data streaming modes of interaction on the web. Marketplace auctions, voting, and subscription-based RSS feeds are enhancing wider spans of participants and semistructured, audio and video data in conventional transactional forms.
