Abstract
Leveraging service oriented programming paradigmwould significantly affect the way people build softwaresystems. However, to achieve this goal a solid softwaredesign methodology should be grounded on proper mathematicalfoundations, specific service-oriented principles,concepts and patterns. This paper contributes to the abovegoal proposing a lightweight, but complete, mathematicalframework capable of capturing the essential componentsof service-oriented programming paradigm. To this end,we propose mathematical definitions for individual service,service-oriented environment and service-oriented application.Analysis of the properties and the functionalities ofthese components with respect to data processing mechanismsenables us to introduce a service-oriented applicationclassification schema. For each application class we firstidentify specific properties and then discuss their use in aservice-oriented design methodology.
