Sensoria Bibliography Site Style-Based Modelling and Refinement of Service-Oriented Architectures

abstract:
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) provide a flexible and dynamic platform for implementing business solutions. In this paper, we address the modeling of such architectures by refining business-oriented architectures, which abstract from technology aspects, into service-oriented ones, focusing on the ability of dynamic reconfiguration (binding to new services at runtime) typical for SOA. The refinement is based on conceptual models of the platforms involved as architectural styles, formalized by graph transformation systems. Based on a refinement relation between abstract and platform-specific styles we investigate how to realize business-specific scenarios on the SOA platform by automatically deriving refined, SOA-specific reconfiguration scenarios.
