Interface Service

All Superinterfaces:

public interface Service
extends Process

A Service is a concrete process.

A Service represents a local or remote process instance. It contains a "grounding", which contains the specifities of the process logic and how to invoke it.

Using OO terms, the Service grounding represents the process "instance", while the Service itself represents the "type" of the service.
