A Formal Approach to Service Component Architecture

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4184))

Abstract

We report on a formal framework being developed within the SENSORIA project for supporting service-oriented modelling at high levels of abstraction, i.e. independently of the hosting middleware and hardware platforms, and the languages in which services are programmed. More specifically, we give an account of the concepts and techniques that support the composition model of SENSORIA, i.e. the mechanisms through which complex applications can be put together from simpler components, including modelling primitives for the orchestration of components and the definition of external interfaces.

This work was partially supported through the IST-2005-16004 Integrated Project SENSORIA: Software Engineering for Service-Oriented Overlay Computers, and the Marie-Curie TOK-IAP MTK1-CT-2004-003169 Leg2Net: From Legacy Systems to Services in the Net.
