Unified Execution of Service Compositions (Short Paper)
Katharina Görlach, Frank Leymann, Volker Claus · 2013
This paper discusses the unification of service composition based on formal specifications. The approach aims for a unified execution of service compositions that can be modeled by various specification languages covering different modeling paradigms. The unification of service composition models is realized based on formal grammars whereas the unification of service composition execution is realized based on formal queued automata. The approach introduces a classification of context-sensitive grammars for determining an optimized automaton class for the execution of service compositions. Finally, a prototype providing transformations of various modeling languages to formal grammars as well as the grammar-based execution of service compositions is presented.
