Abstract

One fundamental issue in service-oriented computing concerns the question whether services can be composed in a manner that allows them to achieve their individual goals. In this paper we use a variant of interface automata as an abstraction of the input/output behaviour of services, which are themselves represented as terms in the π-calculus extended with an action for expressing service collaboration. In this setting, the question whether two or more services can meaningfully compose is then reduced to checking a simple property of the product automaton of the involved interfaces.
