Service-oriented computing has been the focus of tremendous research and technology development over the last 10 years and is now acknowledged as a central paradigm for Internet computing. In this context, researchers have looked at service composition from two complementary points of view: service orchestration and choreography. Although several software systems and technologies have supported Web service orchestration, research on Web service choreography is still at its earliest stage. On the other hand, because choreographies have no central element of control, they offer a promising approach to coping with the scalability issue that arises from the Future Internet view. In this month's theme, we would like to share a few articles about service choreographies that highlight the work that's been done in the last decade.
