Domain-Specific Languages for Service-Oriented Architectures: An Explorative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are an important software development approach for many service-oriented architectures (SOAs). They promise to model the various SOA concerns in a suitable way for the various technical and non-technical stakeholders of a SOA. However, so far the research on SOA DSLs concentrates on novel technical contributions, and not much evidence or counter-evidence for the claims associated to SOA DSLs has been provided. In this paper, we present a qualitative, explorative study that provides an initial analysis of a number of such claims through a series of three prototyping experiments in which each experiment has developed, analyzed, and compared a set of DSLs for process-driven SOAs. Our result is to provide initial evidence for a number of popular claims about SOA DSLs which follow the model-driven software development (MDSD) approach, as well as a list of design trade-offs to be considered in the design decisions that must be made when developing a SOA DSL.

End User Orchestrations
Service-orchestrations define how services can be composed together and are widely used to execute applications based on Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs). However, the various special purpose orchestration languages used today require code-level constructs that force the users to provide excessive technical detail. For many SOA domains end-users of these orchestrations have limited technic...
متن کاملA Reference Architecture for Automation of Inter-Organizational Process-Oriented Collaboration
In today’s competitive, dynamic, and changing business environment, being able to collaborate globally within and beyond the enterprise borders is critical. Inter-Organizational Collaborations (IOCs) have been proposed as a response to the characteristics of highly competitive global business environments. So far, a number of reference models, frameworks, and ad hoc architectures related to som...

متن کاملModel-Driven and Pattern-Based Integration of Process-Driven SOA Models
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) are increasingly used in the context of business processes. However, the modeling approaches for process-driven SOAs do not yet sufficiently integrate the various kinds of models relevant for a processdriven SOA – ranging from process models to software architectural models to software design models. We propose to integrate process-driven SOA models via a mo...
متن کاملApplying Model-driven Engineering for Quality-of-Service Evaluation of Large-Scale Distributed Systems
Rapid time-to-market pressures and the need to keep costs down are affecting software development processes. Next generation software systems are increasingly using component-based technologies and service-oriented architectures in their development lifecycle. Likewise, applications are now assembled and deployed out of loosely coupled, often commercial-off-the-shelf, components. Traditional so...
