%E Marie Jacquet %E Gian Pietro Picco %B Coordination Models and Languages (COORDINATION 2005) %P 33-48 %T A Process Calculus for QoS-Aware Applications %I Springer %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. %A Rocco De Nicola %A GianLuigi Ferrari %A Ugo Montanari %A Rosario Pugliese %A Emilio Tuosto %L eprints302 %V 3454 %S Lecture Notes in Computer Science %R 10.1007/11417019_3 %D 2005
