  • defining and storing a relocation policy that includes instructions on moving the web service and defines parameters of the web service executing on a first server connected to a network, wherein said instructions specify a second server as a new location for the web service;

    monitoring the parameters of the web service executing on the first server, wherein the web service is an application function configured to be a reusable component in a business process;

    detecting a status change based on a change in the parameters;

    consulting said relocation policy for the instructions on moving the web service in response to detecting the status change;

    relocating the web service without human intervention to the second server which is connected to the network; and

    rerouting requests for the web service;

    wherein the first and second servers are both physical application servers configured to provide logic for executing the web service; and
