Patterns for e-service composition

Fauvet, M.-C., Dumas, M., Rabhi, F. and Benatallah, B.

Due to the growth of the Internet, the concept of e-service has gained a considerable momentum as a paradigm for supporting Business-to-Business (B2B) collaboration. In this paper, we propose two patterns dedicated to the composition of e-services, namely the Service Wrapper pattern and the Service Composition Pattern. By service, we mean any class of immaterial products whose provision involves the execution of a set of human and/or computational activities within an organisation, or across several organisations. An e-service is a service which is accessible through electronic means (e.g., a web interface).
