In this paper we discuss an effective technique for automatic service composition and we present the prototype software that implements it. In particular, we characterize the behavior of a service in terms of a finite state machine. In this setting we discuss a technique based on satisfiability in a variant of Propositional Dynamic Logic that solves the automatic composition problem. Specifically, given
(i)
a client specification of his
desired service
, i.e., the service he would like to interact with, and
(ii)
a set of available services, our technique synthesizes the orchestration schema of a composite service that uses only the available services and fully realizes the client specification. The developed system is an open-source software tool, called
$\mathcal {ESC}$
(
