By "this issue", I presume to mean composition, not discovery.

First, you might poke in the BEPL and WS-Choreography circles. It's

Also, Rick Hull has some nice stuff on his homepage:

Check out his mealy machines :)

You might also look at the METEOR-S stuff

(Sorry, only getting the googlecached page at the moment.)
