Abstract:In this paper we propose $I/O^*$-state transition diagrams for service description. In contrast to other techniques like for example Statecharts we allow to model non-atomic services by sequences of transitions. This is especially important in a distributed system where concurrent service invocation cannot be prohibited. We give a mathematical model of object behaviour based on concurrent and sequential messages. Then we give a precise semantics of the service descriptions in terms of the mathematical model.
