Adding Sessions to BPEL
  By considering an essential subset of the BPEL orchestration language, we define SeB, a session based style of this subset. We discuss the formal semantics of SeB and we present its main properties. We use a new approach to address the formal semantics, based on a translation into so-called control graphs. Our semantics handles control links and addresses the static semantics that prescribes the valid usage of variables. We also provide the semantics of collections of networked services.   Relying on these semantics, we define precisely what is meant by interaction safety, paving the way to the formal analysis of safe interactions between BPEL services.
