We present a framework for designing and composing services in a “call-by-contract” fashion, i.e. according to their behavior. We discuss how to correctly plan service compositions in some relevant classes of services and behavioral properties. To this aim, we propose both a core functional calculus for services, and a graphical design language. The core calculus features primitives for selecting and invoking services that respect given behavioral requirements, typically safety properties on the service execution history. A type and effect system over-approximates the actual run-time behavior of services. A further static analysis step finds the viable plans that drive the selection of those services matching the behavioral requirements on demand.
