Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for providing a dynamic service composition software architecture. A user requests a software based service through an agent software component, or 'netlet,' which dynamically selects an appropriate service netlet. The service netlet then dynamically selects a plurality of component netlets, each of which can receive an event causing the component to perform a function or generate an event as a result of performing a function. The agent, service and component netlets can all be selected from a netlet repository in a network. The service netlet dynamically configures the selected component netlets by determining which components will send or receive events from which other components. As a result, the software based service is dynamically composed.
