%X The definition of suitable abstractions and models for identifying, understanding and managing Quality of Service (QoS) constraints is a challenging issue of the Service Oriented Computing paradigm. In this paper we introduce a process calculus where QoS attributes are first class objects. We identify a minimal set of primitives that allow capturing in an abstract way the ability to control and coordinate services in presence of QoS constraints.
