Formation of Service Value Networks for DecentralizedService Provisioning
The provisioning of complex services requires tight collaborationbetween diverse service providers and their customers harmonizing supply anddemand chains to a highly flexible, dynamic and decentralized service value network.Peers in such a network autonomously delegate (sub-)tasks which cannotbe done efficiently by themselves to other more suitable peers in their community.In this paper, we propose an architecture for such service communities thatfeatures decentralized service provisioning based on currentWeb technologies. Inthis context, we present an algorithm for efficient service value network formationand show by means of a simulation that sufficiently sized service networks canfulfill practically all customer requests. When compared to the optimal (central)case, there is a modest price increase for the customers but the overall welfaredecreases only insignificantly.
