Abstract

Current web infrastructure is oriented on human-machine interactions. Developments for next generation large-scale information systems (such as Web Services and ebXML) however aim to allow for automated interactions between arbitrary systems / services. This is achieved by supplying high level descriptions of service capabilities and enabling information systems to dynamically discover and access each other. Fundamental to progress towards this vision is the understanding of the behavioural descriptions that services might publish/access in such new information environments. The properties of such formalisms will have major impact on the practically of building systems able to effectively reason about service integration. This paper reviews 5 well known behavioural description languages (PDDL, DAML-S, WSFL, ebXML and ConGolog) and makes an initial evaluation on the basis of a number of criteria such as completeness, flexibility, composability, expressiveness and complexity.

Web service

A web service (WS) is either: a service offered by an electronic device to another electronic device, communicating with each other via the Internet, or a server running on a computer device, listening for requests at a particular port over a network, serving web documents (HTML, JSON, XML, images). In a web service, a web technology such as HTTP is used for transferring machine-readable file formats such as XML and JSON.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".

Information architecture

Information architecture (IA) is the structural design of shared information environments; the art and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability; and an emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design, architecture and information science to the digital landscape. Typically, it involves a model or concept of information that is used and applied to activities which require explicit details of complex information systems.
