Service Network Approaches

This chapter discusses several approaches to design, analyze, describe and compose service networks.We analyze the technical and business-related aspects of these approaches, their evolution, and the trends they will be likely to follow. We further suggest how the two major trends driving these approaches (i.e., business and process orientation) can converge. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future lines of research in this area.
