We use a process calculus called SRMC to model the service. We apply efficient analysis techniques to numerically evaluate our model. The process calculus and the numerical analysis are supported by a set of software tools which relieve the modeller of the burden of generating and evaluating a large family of related models. The methods are illustrated on a classical example of Web Service usage in a business-to-business scenario. date: 2009 series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science number: 5569 publisher: Springer pagerange: 296-339 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-01918-0_8 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-642-01918-0 book_title: Formal Methods for Web Services official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01918-0_8 citation: Clark, Allan and Gilmore, Stephen and Tribastone, Mirco Quantitative analysis of web services using SRMC.
