Nevertheless, the approaches appeared in the literature deal with these aspects as independent features. We claim that transactional mechanisms are relevant for programming multi-step SLA negotiations and, hence, it is worth investigating the interplay among such formal approaches. In this paper we propose a process calculus, the committed cc-pi, that combines two proposals: (i) cc-pi calculus accounting for SLA negotiation and (ii) cJoin as a model of long running transactions. We provide both a small- and a big-step operational semantics of committed cc-pi as labelled transition systems, and we prove a correspondence result. date: 2008 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume: 4912 publisher: Springer pagerange: 124-139 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-540-78663-4_10 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-540-78662-7 book_title: Post-proceedings of the 3rd Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC’07) editors_name: Barthe, Gilles editors_name: Fournet, Cédric official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-78663-4_10 funders: Research supported by the FET-GC II Project IST-2005-16004 Sensoria and by the Italian FIRB Project Tocai.It. citation: Buscemi, Maria Grazia and Melgratti, Hernán C.
