Abstract

See full text

A service network has several computer systems connected together. A computer system can either be a 'Service Requestor' (SR), a 'Service Provider' (SP), or a hybrid of the two, a 'Service Provider/Requestor' (SP/R). The service network is built by an enrollment process that adds computer systems into the service network. A SP (or SP/R acting as an SP) already in the network can initiate the enrollment of an SR (or SP/R acting as an SR) into the network. In addition, a SR (or SP/R acting as an SR) can initiate a request for enrollment into the network. If such a request is initiated, it must be approved automatically or with human intervention.
