Abstract. The volatility of network environments requires service connections to adapt to changes of service resources and user requirements. In this paper, we treat service connections as individual components called service connectors and present an adaptable service connector model that adopts a role mechanism to adjust connections between services. A role is an abstraction of services with common functionalities. It offers a changeable connector structure, enables reconfiguration of service interaction and encapsulates changes in interacting participants, making service connections more adaptable. 1
