Cross Layer Dynamics in Self-Organising Service Oriented Architectures

This paper assesses and analyses the in and cross layer dynamics engendered by the engineering of self-organisation in one layer of a global Service Oriented Architecture currently emerging as the Internet of Services. A resource allocation algorithm is implemented at the application (business services) layer and its impact is investigated across this layer and the resource (business function) layer through the analysis of the service (server) compositions (digital ecosystem) arising and its associated partitioning into task specific teams (communities). Beneficial self-organisation is shown to ensue in a remote layer from the initially instigated engineered self-organisation.
