Abstract

One of the main success factors of the business IT infrastructure is its capacity to face the change. Many companies are defining its IT infrastructure based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which promises flexibility and efficiency to face the change by reusing and composing loosely coupled services. Because the actual technological platforms used to build SOA systems were not defined originally to this kind of systems, the majority of existing tools for service composition demands that the programmer knows a lot of technical details for its implementation. In this article we propose a conceptual modeling solution to both problems based on the Model-Driven Architecture. Our solution proposes the specification of services and its reuse in terms of platform independent conceptual models. These models are then transformed into platform specific models by a set of Model-to-Model transformation rules, and finally the source code is generated by a set of Model-to-Text transformation rules. Our proposal has been implemented with a tool implemented using the Eclipse Modeling Framework using QVT and Mofscript model transformation languages.
