A Model-Driven Architecture Approach to the Efficient Identification of Services on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture
Service-Oriented Enterprise Architecture requires the efficient development of loosely-coupled and interoperable sets of services. Existing design approaches do not always take full advantage of the value and importance of the engineering invested in existing legacy systems. This paper proposes an approach to define the key services from such legacy systems effectively. The approach focuses on identifying these services based on a Model-Driven Architecture approach supported by guidelines over a wide range of possible service types
Generating collaborative systems for digital libraries: A model-driven approach
This is an open access article shared under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/). Copyright @ 2010 The Authors.The design and development of a digital library involves different stakeholders, such as: information architects, librarians, and domain experts, who need to agree on a common language to describe, discuss, and negotiate the services the library has to offer. To this end, high-level, language-neutral models have to be devised. Metamodeling techniques favor the definition of domainspecific visual languages through which stakeholders can share their views and directly manipulate representations of the domain entities. This paper describes CRADLE (Cooperative-Relational Approach to Digital Library Environments), a metamodel-based framework and visual language for the definition of notions and services related to the development of digital libraries. A collection of tools allows the automatic generation of several services, defined with the CRADLE visual language, and of the graphical user interfaces providing access to them for the final user. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated by presenting digital libraries generated with CRADLE, while the CRADLE environment has been evaluated by using the cognitive dimensions framework
An Extension of NDT to Model Entity Reconciliation Problems
Within the development of software systems, the development of web applications may be one of the most
widespread at present due to the great number of advantages they provide such as: multiplatform, speed of
access or the not requiring extremely powerful hardware among others. The fact that so many web applications
are being developed, makes grotesque the volume of information that it is generated daily. In the management
of all this information, it appears the entity reconciliation problem, which is to identify objects referring to
the same real-world entity. This paper proposes to give a solution to this problem through a web perspective.
To this end, the NDT methodology has been taken as a reference and has been extended adding new activities,
artefacts and documents to cover this problem.Ministerio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2016-76956-C3-2-RMinisterio de EconomĂa y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED
Model the System from Adversary Viewpoint: Threats Identification and Modeling
Security attacks are hard to understand, often expressed with unfriendly and
limited details, making it difficult for security experts and for security
analysts to create intelligible security specifications. For instance, to
explain Why (attack objective), What (i.e., system assets, goals, etc.), and
How (attack method), adversary achieved his attack goals. We introduce in this
paper a security attack meta-model for our SysML-Sec framework, developed to
improve the threat identification and modeling through the explicit
representation of security concerns with knowledge representation techniques.
Our proposed meta-model enables the specification of these concerns through
ontological concepts which define the semantics of the security artifacts and
introduced using SysML-Sec diagrams. This meta-model also enables representing
the relationships that tie several such concepts together. This representation
is then used for reasoning about the knowledge introduced by system designers
as well as security experts through the graphical environment of the SysML-Sec
framework.Comment: In Proceedings AIDP 2014, arXiv:1410.322
Forum Session at the First International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC03)
The First International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC) was held in Trento, December 15-18, 2003. The focus of the conference ---Service Oriented Computing (SOC)--- is the new emerging paradigm for distributed computing and e-business processing that has evolved from object-oriented and component computing to enable building agile networks of collaborating business applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries. Of the 181 papers submitted to the ICSOC conference, 10 were selected for the forum session which took place on December the 16th, 2003. The papers were chosen based on their technical quality, originality, relevance to SOC and for their nature of being best suited for a poster presentation or a demonstration. This technical report contains the 10 papers presented during the forum session at the ICSOC conference. In particular, the last two papers in the report ere submitted as industrial papers
MDA-based ATL transformation to generate MVC 2 web models
Development and maintenance of Web application is still a complex and
error-prone process. We need integrated techniques and tool support for
automated generation of Web systems and a ready prescription for easy
maintenance. The MDA approach proposes an architecture taking into account the
development and maintenance of large and complex software. In this paper, we
apply MDA approach for generating PSM from UML design to MVC 2Web
implementation. That is why we have developed two meta-models handling UML
class diagrams and MVC 2 Web applications, then we have to set up
transformation rules. These last are expressed in ATL language. To specify the
transformation rules (especially CRUD methods) we used a UML profiles. To
clearly illustrate the result generated by this transformation, we converted
the XMI file generated in an EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) model.Comment: International Journal of Computer Science & Information

Model-driven design, simulation and implementation of service compositions in COSMO
The success of software development projects to a large extent depends on the quality of the models that are produced in the development process, which in turn depends on the conceptual and practical support that is available for modelling, design and analysis. This paper focuses on model-driven support for service-oriented software development. In particular, it addresses how services and compositions of services can be designed, simulated and implemented. The support presented is part of a larger framework, called COSMO (COnceptual Service MOdelling). Whereas in previous work we reported on the conceptual support provided by COSMO, in this paper we proceed with a discussion of the practical support that has been developed. We show how reference models (model types) and guidelines (design steps) can be iteratively applied to design service compositions at a platform independent level and discuss what tool support is available for the design and analysis during this phase. Next, we present some techniques to transform a platform independent service composition model to an implementation in terms of BPEL and WSDL. We use the mediation scenario of the SWS challenge (concerning the establishment of a purchase order between two companies) to illustrate our application of the COSMO framework
