This volume contains the final and revised versions of the papers presented
at the 7th International Workshop on Automated Specification and Verification
of Web Systems (WWV 2011). The workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, on June
9, 2011, as part of DisCoTec 2011. The aim of the WWV workshop series is to
provide an interdisciplinary forum to facilitate the cross-fertilization and
the advancement of hybrid methods that exploit concepts and tools drawn from
Rule-based programming, Software engineering, Formal methods and Web-oriented
research.
We introduce a new criterion, replacement freeness, to discern the relative
expressiveness of process calculi. Intuitively, a calculus is strongly
replacement free if replacing, within an enclosing context, a process that
cannot perform any visible action by an arbitrary process never inhibits the
capability of the resulting process to perform a visible action. We prove that
there exists no compositional and interaction sensitive encoding of a not
strongly replacement free calculus into any strongly replacement free one.
