I apologize, I typically refrain to send pointer to articles on the list, but I could not resist that one. I think that I possibly found the best way to express what orchestration is: http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=44275 <http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=44275> "[Orchestration] is an emerging [concept] that would give programmers a way to formally describe processes underlying business applications so that they can be exposed and linked to processes in other applications." Choreography can then be defined (I am sure someone can come with a better sentence), as: Choreography would give programmers a way to formally describe how processes from individual business applications are linked together regardless of specific boundaries (technical, organizational or legal).

Question (to Nick): Could you spend a little time explaining Figure 1 to us. It looks very similar to Solos but many will not know anything about Solos. If you could walk through the diagram I would be most grateful. Question (to Nick): What is meant by "the semantics of the Web Services" it req13? Question (to Nick): Would I be correct in assuming that for two to proceed they would have to be inside different choreographies? Why is only one Reaction allowed to proceed inside a specific choreography? See: When two or more Reactions are matched inside the same Choreography then only one Reaction is allowed to make progress by enabling its own actions. The selection of which Reaction is allowed to proceed is implementation specific. Question (to Nick): What does it mean to "Recover" a choreography? In particular how might it change the state of the web service participants and how might it change the state within the choreography itself? Question (for Nick): Could you spend a little time explaining Figure 1 to us. It looks very similar to Solos but many will not know anything about Solos. If you could walk through the diagram I would be most grateful. Cheers Steve T
