Domingue, John; Galizia, Stefania and Cabral, Liliana (2005). Choreography in IRS-III – coping with heterogeneous interaction patterns in web services. In: International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2005), 06-10 Nov 2005, Galway, Ireland.
Abstract
In this paper we describe how we handle heterogeneity in web service interaction through a choreography mechanism that we have developed for IRS-III. IRS-III is a framework and platform for developing semantic web services which utilizes the WSMO ontology. The overall design of our choreography framework is based on: the use of ontologies and state, IRS-III playing the role of a broker, differentiating between communication direction and which actor has the initiative, having representations which can be executed, a formal semantics, and the ability to suspend communication. Our framework has a full implementation which we illustrate through an example application.
