Both conditions and design rule may be statically verified. Here, they are re-arranged to define service protocol, service network (system), and service network component, which together form a model for system abstraction. Adding mutual exclusion of service provision and dependency between service connections enriches abstraction and is shown to afford compositionality. Prioritised alternation of service provision further enriches abstraction while retaining deadlock-freedom and denying priority conflict, given appropriate new design rules." }
