Recently, a lot of research works have attempted to model the choreography of services by different languages.Each language models the choreography on the basis of different view and level of abstraction.The features of each language demonstrate how much it is suitable for service choreography modeling.Among all languages, WS-CDL is a popular language which has the rich syntax to model choreography.But it is much limited for modeling the semantic and adaptability of choreography [16,18].This paper aims to show the suitability of such language to specify service choreography.For that, we define the requirements of a typical choreography language on the basis of a number of interaction patterns.Then, the UML state based language is checked out against those patterns to recognize its suitability for addressing the requirements of service choreography.We also compare this language with other main languages in terms of interaction patterns appeared within a compare ison table.
