Abstract

In this paper we advocate to introduce a common modelling pattern for all the different layers of middleware based on services. This opens the possibility to flexibly choose the adequate levels for realizing specific features, and it allows all stakeholders to get a global picture of the overall scenario, a central factor when considering the convergence in networks and applications. Moreover, it allows to apply validations methods like model-based testing and model checking homogeneously, throughout the whole modelling hierarchy, from the underlying converging platforms to the user level.
