Abstract

We develop formal foundations for notions and mechanisms needed to support service-oriented computing. Our work provides semantics for the service overlay by abstracting concepts from logic programming. It draws a strong analogy between the discovery of a service that can be bound to a client application and the search for a clause that can be used for computing an answer to a query. In addition, it describes the process of binding services and the reconfiguration of applications as service-oriented derivatives of unification and resolution.
