Ji Qiang Gao, Hexin Lv · 2011
(VOs) have become the mainstream approach for developing application software systems in Internet computing environments. However, the large-scale deployment of VOs encounters serious difficulty due to the non-autonomy for their organization and maintenance. This paper focuses on VO self-maintenance and proposes the framework for achieving the contract-performing circumstance-driven self-adaptation and self-evolution of service cooperation, in order to maintain effectively the capability for a VO to achieve its objectives in two stages: self-adaptation and self-evolution. Keywords—contract-performing; circumstance-driven; self-adaptation; self-evolution; virtual organization I.
