This contract is associated to the CIFRE Ph.D thesis of Jonathan Labejof between ADAM and the Thales company. The goal of the project is to study the evolution of heterogeneous service-oriented architectures. We address two problems. First, we study some various forms of support for heterogeneity in service architectures in terms of communication protocols and software component personalities. Second, we propose solutions for systems which are agile and respond smoothly to changes in their execution contexts. Overall, the goal of this project is to propose to design a model for adaptability, a runtime infrastructure and to provide some means by which these two levels can be causally connected and kept consistent.
