While a violation of contract is detected by monitoring system or while business goals change or while functionalities change, a service provider may be substituted. At business level, a service means "providing an action on the real world" (send invoice ,add euros to account, shipment...). The new service provider may have been foreseen or may have to be selected in UDDI or ebxml repository. The logic of selecting the right service against its functionnality is based on ontology as OWL-S. One adds Qos attributes parameters to choose the one that maximize QoS , locally or globally.[CD-JRA-1.2.3] | |||
