The goal of the Software Services and Systems Network (S-CUBE) project is to create a unified, multidisciplinary research community that fosters the research and development of service-oriented technologies. The project's primary focus is integration by unifying and coordinating the research agendas of the key research groups of the field, creating Europe wide teaching and training programmes as well as a long term research vision. The project concentrates on the design and implementation methodology aspects of software services that will enable the development, operation and control of complex, high-level service-based systems. The SZTAKI LPDS (using its expertise in grid research) works on the research and implementation of reflexive service infrastructures. The operation os a service-based infrastructure necessitates some level of autonomy typically relying on so-called self-* properties (serlrf-configuration, self-healing, self-adaptation, self-defence). The paper will provide an overview ot hte S-Cube project activities and describe some interesting aspects of the work performed by the SZTAKI-LPDS.
