Abstract

Despite the well-known advantages of applying the MDA proposalto SOA developments, there are still some gaps that need to befilled. At PIM-level, for example, there is no possibility ofhaving an executable version of the system as it solely comprisestechnologically independent models. In order to solve this wepropose to formalize the architectural model at this level withΠ-ADL, an ADL supporting the description of dynamicand evolvable architectures like SOA itself is. Since Π-ADL allows the definition of executable versions of thearchitecture, the specification written embodies a prototype of thesystem at the PIM-level. We illustrate this by describing a realcase study based on the SMPP standard for sending SMS messages.
