Abstract
Signals are mapped from one protocol to another protocol. A first protocol is received, and a mapping interface is generated to a second protocol. The first protocol is then mapped to the second protocol in accordance with the mapping interface. The mapping interface may comprise a coordination map. Moreover, a state diagram may be generated that is based on the first protocol, prior to mapping the first protocol to the second protocol. The first protocol may be an abstract protocol or a web services business activity protocol, for example, and the second protocol may be another abstract protocol, a concrete interface, a web services interface, a common language runtime interface, or a business process execution language for web services, for example.
