Event based choreography

An important feature of the service-oriented approach is the ability to aggregate, through programmable coordination patterns, the activities involved in service interactions. Two different approaches can be adopted to tackle service coordination: orchestration and choreography. In this paper, we introduce a formal methodology to handle coordination among services from the perspective of a global observer, in the spirit of choreography models. In particular, we address the problem of verifying compliance and consistency between the design of service interactions and the choreography constraints.
