Abstract

A system that enables decentralized management of a composite e-service by obtaining information which is useful for management of the composite e-service even when the arrangement of e-services that make up the composite e-service are dynamically changing. The system includes mechanisms for generating a set of management information for each of a set of service interactions among the e-services that currently make up the composite e-service. The system includes mechanisms for transferring the sets of management information up a tree structure of the composite e-service to an e-service in the tree structure that provides a portal to the composite e-service. The system also includes mechanisms for combining the management information at each level of the tree structure.
