Among many emerging technologies, service-oriented architecture and peer-to-peer networking are significantly changing not only the properties of applications, but the way to develop them. In this paper, the authors envision a convergence of these two - peer service systems. However, how to efficiently develop distributed applications in such peer service systems is still an open problem to solve. Aiming at solving such a problem, the authors propose a negotiation-based software process so that distributed applications can be constructed and maintained by negotiating and purchasing services from peers.
