The third of the S-Cube technology layers provides infrastructure
capabilities for defining basic communication patterns and interactions involving
as well as providing facilities for providing, for example, contextual and
qualitative information about a service´s and their client´s environment and performance.
Providing these capabilities to other layers allows service developers to use
contextual information when building service based systems and provide cross layer
and pro-active monitoring and adaptation of services (see research challenges). This
chapter provides an overview of service infrastructures for the adaptation, monitoring
and management of services which will provide these functions and concludes
with a discussion of more detailed research challenges in the context of service infrastructures
and their management.
