In Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), services are composed by coordinating their communications into a flow of interactions. Coloured Petri nets (CPN) offer a formal yet easy tool for modelling interactions in SOAs, however mapping abstract SOAs into executable ones requires a non-trivial and time-costly analysis. Here, we propose a methodology that maps CPN-modelled SOAs into Jolie SOAs (our target language), exploiting a collection of recurring control-flow patterns, called Workflow Patterns, as composable blocks of the translation. We validate our approach with a realistic use case. In addition, we pragmatically asses the expressiveness of Jolie wrt the considered WPs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
