Service-oriented model-driven development: Filling the extra-functional property gap

Abstract

Although vendors provide multiple platforms for service implementation, developers demands approaches for managing service-oriented applications at all stages of development. In this sense, approaches such as Model-Driven Development (MDD) and Service Component Architecture (SCA) can be used in conjunction for modeling and integrating services independently of the underlying platform technology. Besides, WS-Policy provides a XML-based standard description for extra-functional properties. In this paper we propose a cross-disciplinary approach, in which the aforementioned MDD, SCA and WS-Policy are assembled in order to develop extra-functional properties in web services from a platform independent model. © 2006 Springer-Verlag.
