Abstract:
This paper addresses binary collaborations and choreographies, based on web services technology. The nature of the problem leads to two complementary approaches: one focuses on activities, and the other on interactions. This paper follows the interaction-oriented approach and proposes a modeling notation, called Interaction-Oriented Nets (IONs), which allows binary collaborations, choreographies and abstract orchestration models (i.e. abstract business processes made up of communication activities) to be homogeneously represented.
