Abstract
Software integration needs to face signature and behaviour incompatibilities that unavoidably arise when composing services developed by different parties. While many of such incompatibilities can be solved by applying existing software adaptation techniques, these are computationally expensive and require to know beforehand the behaviour of the services to be integrated. In this paper we present a lightweight approach to dynamic service adaptation which does not require any previous knowledge on the behaviour of the services to be integrated. The approach itself is adaptive in the sense that an initial (possibly the most liberal) adaptor behaviour is progressively refined by learning from failures that possibly occur during service interaction.
