The report is structured into three main sections. First, different models and languages for service composition are described. These involve service orchestration, choreography, wiring, coordination, and semantic WS composition. The next part evaluates approaches to creation and development of service compositions, including model-driven, automated, and QoS-aware service composition. Finally, formal methods to verification of service compositions are presented. Each section starts with an introduction and classification of the approaches and then describes the main contributions in the corresponding area.

To date, most BPM deployments have been narrow in scope, adopting an organization-centric view and providing only improvements in specific business functions. As a result, current BPM suites only enable organizations to enhance their existing processes. The next-generation of service-enabled BPM will serve as a means of developing mission-critical applications based on strategic technology capable of creating and executing crossenterprise collaborative business processes and business-aware transactions, so that organizations can deploy, monitor, and continuously update cross-enterprise functions within a mixed environment of people, content, and systems. Such collaborative, complex end-to-end service interactions give raise to the concept of Agile Service Networks. In this report, we assess the state-of-the-art in BPM, surveying the basic concepts, describe the features, techniques and enabling technologies necessary for making BPM a reality and explain the need for service-based BPM. The report also highlights the need for moving from a relatively static and organization-centric view of BPM to a much more dynamic, highvalue one based on Agile Service Networks.

This deliverable provides a survey of this broad field of “service quality” and identifies the key areas where research contributions are currently available. Based on this survey of the state of the art, important and emerging research challenges are identified that could be pursued in the future in order to close several of the gaps which emerge from the current state of the art on “service quality”.

The report also includes an overview of the different kinds of adaptation and monitoring principles and mechanisms, provides a classification of the existing approaches from the literature, and makes a comparison with the state-of-the-art approaches in other related areas of information systems.

Moreover, it provides an overview of various aspects concerning the way human beings interact with each other and with the computerized systems. This second aspect, even if not directly related to the Service-Oriented Computing context is being analyzed in order to understand if it could be a good source of inspiration for new challenges and new issues for service-based applications. The deliverable provides some initial thoughts about these challenges and issues. Further analysis and research will be developed in the following of the S-Cube project.
