1. A method for providing compatibility between disparate services in a communications or information processing network used by a plurality of network participants, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) assigning a software agent module (SAM) to each service resource device (SRD) for interfacing said SRD to a software message bus (SMB), assigning a SAM to each user of said communications network and assigning a SAM to each terminal of said communications network;

    (b) creating a temporary software compatibility control (CC) module for each service session initiated by network participants by causing said CC module to handle requests and events according to predetermined processing rules; and

    ,(c) partitioning said CC module into at least two sub-modules, one being a request handling module (RH) for handing requests from network participants; and

    one being an event handling module (EH) for handling events generated by said RH by causing an event to access a selected SRD via its SAM.
