Abstract :
The paper presents the HERMES specification language, which is introduced to express scripts for complex activities involving coordination and collaboration. The language is part of a framework for network-centric applications, providing a two-level framework for expressing metadata. Service flow rules define communication channels between software components and actions triggered by run time events. The semantics of HERMES supports a model for dynamic and adaptive work sessions in open environments
