Abstract. This paper proposes an approach to dynamically reconfiguring service-oriented applications from a business perspective: CAFISEadapt, which defines both business-level and software-level change operations to respectively express changes in the business domain and the software domain. Utilizing the convergence of these two level change operations, the approach expects application changes can be automatically coherent with business changes. Through hiding software-level technical details of applications that are necessary for traditional change operations, the business-level change operations can be used by business users to dynamically modify service-oriented application instances, which can realize the dynamic reconfiguration of service-oriented applications in a straightforward way to timely adapt to business requirement changes. This approach has been applied and validated in the project FLAME2008.
