Abstract

Cross-organizational business processes are gaining increased attention these days, especially with the service oriented architecture (SOA) as a realization for business process management (BPM). In SOA, interaction agreements between business partners are defined as choreographies containing common interaction patterns. However, complex interactions are difficult to specify, basically because a formal, common standard supporting all interaction patterns is missing. This paper motivates the use of the π-calculus for formally representing service interaction patterns.
