            Abstract : 
An autonomous decentralized system based on mobile agents and inspired by the immune system as an approach to adaptive service discovery and composition. The immune system has a set of organizing principles such as scalability, adaptability and availability that are useful for developing a networking model in highly dynamic and unstable setting. Each user request is considered as an attack launched against the global network. The agent-based system reacts like an immune system against pathogens that have entered the body. It detects the infection and delivers an appropriate response to eliminate it. The C-agents can rearrange at run-time by changing affinity values based on user satisfaction and dynamically change of resources. The online service composition with adaptation shows its effectiveness compared to service composition without adaptation.
