A successful outcome is never questioned when a plane with millions of interdependent parts is designed, especially when cost is not a factor. Why are the outcomes of complex software projects so unpredictable? In this two-part article, the authors analyze the causes of project failures and propose a new approach beyond SOA based on adaptive systems theory and a new information architecture.

Composite Software offers a new level of granularity when compared to SaaS (Software as a Service). Composite Software is about enabling "right-sourcing", i.e. move (or keep) arbitrary small or large elements of functionality wherever it is the most cost effective to operate them, not just entire systems. Economically, "right-sourcing" is far more efficient than "outsourcing" and SaaS. The goal of this book is start by understanding today’s software construction processes and technologies and explore why and how it should be evolved to support core composition mechanisms.
