An Analytic Model of Atomic Service for Services Descriptions.

The key question with Service Science is to be how to formulate a theoretic foundation for service description, service discovery and service composition in the context of basic service system development and the building of service architecture. However, the current research and development in the field of Service Science assumes that the mapping between the service requesters' requirements and the formal and executable services provided by the service providers (or developers) is straightforward, without a clear view of unbalance or even semantic conflict between a requirement very likely in NL and a service as a programming module. In this paper, we attempt to address this issue by proposing an analytic model of atomic service for service composition based on our initial analysis of service structures and manipulations.
