Model-driven development of SOA with Web services - using QVT technology

Abstract

It has become more and more common to apply the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) to development of systems based on the Service-oriented architecture (SOA), especially Web services. Standards for development of Web services technology are wanted as they play an important role in solving issues with the building of interoperable systems. Using MDA to develop Web services could represent those standards.

This thesis describes principles for realizing and implementing model-driven develop-ment of SOA and Web services. Focus is set on use of the upcoming standard for model transformations QVT. The related OMG standard for Model to Text Transformations is also given attention in this work. The main contributions in this thesis are evaluations of proposed languages and software to the mentioned standards, as well as a framework called MOSUQ for the MDA-, QVT-, SOA- and Web services-kind of development. Moreover, a larger case has been solved, applying the principles of this framework.
