Abstract
This paper addresses two known issues for dynamically
composed services in digital ecosystems. The first
issue is that of efficient distributed transaction management.
The conventional view of transactions is unsuitable as the local
autonomy of the participants is vital for the involvement of
SMEs. The second issue is that of charging for such distributed
transactions, where there will often be dynamically created
services whose composition is not known in advance and might
involve parts of different transactions. The paper provides solutions
for both of these issues, which can be combined to provide
for a unified approach to transaction management and
accounting of dynamically composed services in digital ecosystems
