Abstract :
The collaborative activities of the Web service composition are variable and complex. When coalition services must work together, the coordination problems may be very complex, puzzling and abortive. Coordination theory provides a method for modeling complex collaborative activities in a way that makes both the similarities and differences between them more distinct. To depict it, a methodology with its visualization approach of modeling Web service composition coordination process was proposed. According to the methods, models all about the Web services composition collaboration processes in an e-manufacturing process were set up as a practical example. This approach will make Web services more acceptable to improve the adaptation of Web service oriented application.
