Karthikeyan Umapathy, Sandeep Purao, Vijayan Sugumaran · 2003
Web services composition is an emerging paradigm for enabling application deployment and integration within and across organizational boundaries.

The ability to support conversations taking place between Web Services is an important area that is not yet fully addressed by the emerging standards. We suggest an approach to derive speech-act based message structures for conversation support that can complement existing standards. 1.
