Abstract: Enterprise systems are increasingly behaving as nodes in a digital,
dynamic ecosystem. On the one hand, this new situation requires flexible, spontaneous
and opportunistic collaboration activities to be identified and established
among business parties. On the other hand, it also requires engineering approaches
able to integrate new functionalities and behaviours into running systems and active,
distributed, interdependent processes. In this paper we present a multi-level
architecture, combining organisational and coordination theories with model driven
development, for the implementation, deployment and management of dynamic,
flexible and robust service-oriented business applications.
