TL;DR
The model supports the consumer in the management of a conversation which respects the business logic of the service without imposing the explicit management of the conversational context.
Abstract
The emerging standards for the publication of Web Services enable the invocation of services having simple interaction protocols, but they fail to support complex e-business interactions, where the peers exchange several messages. In order to extend the classes of services which can be invoked by the consumers, we propose a conversational model supporting the management of complex interactions between clients and Web Services. Our model supports the consumer in the management of a conversation which respects the business logic of the service without imposing the explicit management of the conversational context.

An important class of cases is that in which the speaker utters a sentence, means what he says, but also means something more, in which a sentence that contains the illocutionary force indicators for one kind of illOCutionary act can be uttered to perform, in addition, another type of illocutionsary act.

DAML-S is presented, a DAML+OIL ontology for describing the properties and capabilities of Web Services, and three aspects of the ontology are described: the service profile, the process model, and the service grounding.
The MIT Press eBooksIntentions in Communication
892 Citations1990
This book addresses central questions about the nature of intention as it is understood in theories of communication, the crucial role of intention recognition in understanding utterances, the use of principles of rational interaction in interpreting speech acts, the contribution of intonation contours to intention recognition, and the need for more general models of intention.

A demonstration that illocutionary acts need neither be primitive, nor explicitly recognized, and a theory of purposeful communication emerges as a consequence of principles of action and interaction.
