                Abstract: 
                Software as a Service (SaaS) becomes a very important trend in software engineering. In order to practice the principles of SasS and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), we introduce a concept of Self-Organizing Software (SOS) and a simple prototype implementation, called Data Mining Service Architecture (DMS Arc) in the paper. SOS implies that the software will automatically build and accomplish the executive entity according to the user requirements. The DMS Arc is a knowledge based service composition system that aims to encapsulate basic Data Mining functions into meta services and automatically combine those services according to the stored knowledge models to fulfil a specific Data Mining requirement. We present some key issues that place in the SOS service cycle. The DMS Arc project is still on developing, and will be published as a public facility in a Cloud Computing environment.
