Software connectors encapsulate interaction patterns between services in complex, distributed service-oriented applications. Such patterns evolve over time, in response to faults, changes in the expected QoS levels, emergent requirements or the reassessment of contextual conditions. This paper builds up on a model for connector reconfiguration to introduce notions of reconfiguration equivalence and refinement allowing for reasoning about them. This paves the way towards a (still missing) calculus of connector reconfigurations.
