However, currently, the development of service-oriented applications requires many manual tasks and prevailing infrastructure is often based on centralized components that are central points of failure and easily become bottlenecks. In this paper, we promote self-organizing SOA as a new approach to overcome these limitations. Self-organizing SOA integrates research results in the areas of autonomic and service oriented computing. We consider self-organizing features for the whole life-cycle of a service-oriented application, from the creation to the execution, optimization, and monitoring.}, keywords = {autonomic computing, monitoring, self-organizing service-oriented architecture, service composition, service oriented computing, Web services}, doi = {10.1109/SERVICES.2011.44}, author = {Walter Binder and Daniele Bonetta and Cesare Pautasso and Achille Peternier and Diego Milano and Heiko Schuldt and Nenad Stojnic and Boi Faltings and Immanuel Trummer} }
