Licas is a software package written in the Java programming language which allows a user to build distributed service-based networks that can also self-organise/self-optimise.

Functionality is provided to allow for XML-RPC based message passing and dynamic linking between services. The framework is very lightweight and so may be used in mobile or sensor-based environments.

The architecture and adaptive capabilities through dynamic linking add something new to what other similar systems may provide.
