Abstract :
The paper presents the main rationales and design concepts for an architecture and service platform for the development of distributed applications in a cooperative open environment. This environment can be characterised as a `service market´ where various services are offered at different costs and with different qualities. Suitable servers must be selected from a large, varying number of components residing at different locations and belonging to a variety of organisations. In the architecture four planes are identified and the solutions adopted for each plane are described
