Abstract
For several years, a change in the economy has been observed. The established focus on products made way for a new perspective that concentrates on the provisioning rather than only the result, that is, on services. This development affects technical as well as organizational aspects of the economy. On the one hand, service mashups and situational approaches are facilitated by dynamically composing Web services. RESTful architectures (Fielding and Taylor 2002) and slim messaging formats like JSON (Crockford 2006) support the technical feasibility of the aforementioned composition. This way, the interplay of numerous service providers is enabled which creates value by integrating the provided modules into one joint solution, a complex service that is suited to meet individual customers’ requirements.
