A Behavioural Congruence for Web Services

Web services are emerging as a promising technology for the development of next generation distributed heterogeneous software systems. We define a new behavioural equivalence for Web services, based on bisimilarity and inspired by recent advances in the theory of reactive systems. The proposed equivalence is compositional and decidable, and it provides a firm ground for enhanced behaviour-aware discovery and for a sound incremental development of services and service compositions.
