The PLAY project will develop and validate an elastic and reliable architecture for dynamic and complex, event-driven interaction in large highly distributed and heterogeneous service systems. Such an architecture will enable ubiquitous exchange of information between heterogeneous services, providing the possibilities to adapt and personalize their execution, resulting in the so-called situational-driven process adaptivity.

Motivating Story

Paul is a businessman who has been flying from Paris to New York. He used the entertainment service on board, but hasn’t finished watching the movie before the landing. Two hours later he is entering his room in the downtown hotel he booked earlier and wow: the room entertainment service is ready to PLAY the movie Paul was watching in the plane – of course only the unfinished part.
