Decision method for affected scope of business process evolution in Web service composition

Aiming at the unknowable characteristic for each other's internal business processes of the services involved in the evolution,the types of evolution were decided based on the service changes in the internal business processes before and after the evolution according to open-bisimulation theory.By judging the attachment services at the precursor states sets or the subsequent states sets of the affected state nodes in the internal business process,the involved services was decided.By calculating the boundary of business process evolution's effect in internal services,the evolved scope of each service was decided,and the affected scope of business process evolution in service composition was further obtained.For the above questions,the decision rules and algorithms were given to ensure that the evolution was taken place only in the affected area and all the state nodes affected were evolved.
