Actually I think we can get both if we implement some "intelligent"
service server, that would be e.g. controlled by some "supervisor".

A "service server" would manage the service to which it is associated
(serve data, send requests to modules, etc..), and export a set of
"control services" that could be configured either by a 
user (e.g. a user says : I always want the position from this module), or
by another module (according to the current environement, resources
availability, etc..).

I fully agree!
