The document discusses the ALIVE project, which aims to develop a new framework for engineering dynamic, flexible distributed business systems. The framework brings together coordination theory, organizational theory and model-driven approaches. It splits the design process into three layers - the service layer, coordination layer and organizational layer. This provides a context for services and allows them to be selected, composed and invoked dynamically in response to changes. The framework is intended to provide sound theoretical foundations and new engineering techniques and tools to model systems at different levels of abstraction.
