Computer science description: Contracts are a well-established approach for describing and analyzing behavioral aspects of web service compositions. The theory of contracts comes equipped with a notion of compatibility between clients and servers that ensures that every possible interaction between compatible clients and servers will complete successfully. It is generally agreed that real applications often require the ability of exposing just partial descriptions of their behaviors, which are usually known as abstract processes. We propose a formal characterization of abstraction as an extension of the usual symbolic bisimulation and we recover the notion of abstraction in the context of contracts. publisher: Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science contributor: Legay, Axel contributor: Caillaud, Benoît date: 2011-01 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en rights: cc_by identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/115/1/buscemi_melgratti_FIT10.pdf identifier: Buscemi, Maria Grazia and Melgratti, Hernán C.
