Abstract. Despite the popularity of web services, creating them manually is an intricate task. Composite web services are defined using the evolving standard for BPEL (Business Process Execution Logic). It is explained how CRESS (Chisel Representation Employing Systematic Specification) has been extended to meet the challenge of graphically and formally describing web services. Sample CRESS descriptions are presented of web services. These are automatically translated into LOTOS, permitting rigorous analysis and automated validation.

“…For web service semantic compatibility checking, the current approaches [16,6,14] only check the compatibility after composition. The whole state space of the composite model needs to be explored for thorough checking, but such post-checking is expensive to find an interaction problem.…”

Web service is an emerging paradigm for distributed computing. First, in order to verify web services rigorously, it is important to provide a formal semantics for the flowbased web service language (WS). A suitable formal model should cover most features of the WS. The existing formal models either abstract from data, cover a simple subset of WS, or omit the interactions between certain components. This paper presents a web service automaton, an extension of Mealy machine, to fulfill the formal model requirements of the web service domain. Second, semantic compatibility checking between web services is another important issue. The existing checking approaches are post-checking, where the compatibility is checked after composition. As a complement to post-checking, we proposes anti-patterns for web service interactions as a pre-checking, so that certain incompatible web services can be modified or re-selected in the earliest stages.

Abstract. Grid services and web services have similarities but also significant differences. Although conceived for web services, it is seen how BPEL (Business Process Execution Logic) can be used to orchestrate a collection of grid services. It is explained how CRESS (Chisel Representation Employing Systematic Specification) has been extended to describe grid service composition. The CRESS descriptions are automatically converted into BPEL/WSDL code for practical realisation of the composed services. This achieves orchestration of grid services deployed using the widely used Globus Toolkit and ActiveBPEL interpreter. The same CRESS descriptions are automatically translated into LOTOS, allowing systematic checks for interoperability and logical errors prior to implementation.
