E-Services: A Look Behind the Curtain

Summary: Examines e-service proposals/standards from DB-centric views (XML, data management, workflow/process models) and identifies core research challenges. Highlights behavioral service signatures, verification/synthesis for composite services, service data-command analysis, and XML-based spec analysis with exemplar techniques.
