Abstract (EN): In the recent evolution of production control systems the emergence of decentralized systems capable of dealing with the rapid changes in the production environment better than the traditional centralized architectures has been one of the most significant developments. The agent-based and holonic paradigms symbolize this approach, and ADACOR (ADAptive holonic COntrol aRchitecture) is a successful example of such a system. Today, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are the building blocks of new decentralized architectures. In this paper authors look to SOA and the way services can support re-configurability and provide an insight to orchestration and choreography mechanisms and tools, including orchestration engines, for service composition, coordination and collaboration.
