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