Abstract

Web services (WSs) compositions deal with specifying how to assemble a complex WS system from elementary services. These services can be provided on the Web by third parties as WSs, COTS, or bespoke components. Wrappers are becoming the norm for customising existing components in order to integrate them into larger WS systems. In many cases, using a component “as-is” is very unlikely to occur. A component has to be customized because of, for example, incompatibilities between the interfaces of components that need to communicate with one another, need for extra security features, or, blocking unneeded functionality. This paper presents an approach for modeling several wrapping techniques that can be used for composing WS application using Hoare’s CSP process algebra.
