“…In our framework, we are also working along the same direction, i.e., for service modelling, the UML class diagram is used and for workflow modelling the UML activity diagram is used.  The "UML-S" (UML for Service) is presented by Dumez et al (2008a). They defined the static aspects of the composition i.e., the interface of the services composition by the UML-Class diagram (WSDL interface and data types involved) and used the UML-activity diagram to model the dynamic aspects (the composition scenario itself, i.e., the interaction among the existing services).…”

“…Therefore, many composition languages have been proposed in recent years such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), XLANG (X Language), Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) and Web Service Choreography Interface (WSCI) etc., to name few of them. However, these languages are not related to the early stages of the system development (Dumez et al, 2008a). Several Web services composition frameworks/methods are proposed for Web services composition; where emphasis is also given to the early phases of services composition and the whole life cycle is defined.…”

Now a day, enterprises are implementing their Web Information Systems using Service Oriented Architecture. SOA applications are basically composition of services. To accomplish a business activity, these services are composed using services composition languages/standards, which define the execution order of services invocations and their interaction patterns. Services composition is a very complex process consist of several phases or steps and further subdivided into sub-process and sub-steps. Over the past decade, many researchers have come up with their proposed services composition frameworks consisting of different phases and steps and the whole life cycle is defined. Mostly these frameworks are using the Model Driven Software Development approach to develop Web Information Systems and UML is used as a modelling language for business process modelling. Later on system artefacts are automatically generated from these models. In this study, a survey is presented showing the progress made by these researchers in the area of service composition and discusses different services composition frameworks presented by the most prominent researchers for the development of Web Information Systems.

“…There was a UML 2.0 profile proposal made by (Castro et al, 2006) but the model was not detailed enough to allow automatic programming code generation. Dumez et al proposed a new UML 2.0 profile called UML-S (Dumez et al, 2008c); its models are meant to be detailed enough to allow automatic programming code generation as shown in a case study (Dumez et al, 2008b), which uses the WS-BPEL 2.0 translation rules introduced in (Dumez et al, 2008a). A development framework has also been developed in order to model the composition using a UML-S diagram and automatically generate the corresponding BPEL code (Dumez et al, 2009).…”

Companies are now making their know-how and information available over the network using Web services. Business-to-Business collaboration through Web service interaction is now a necessary step to better satisfy user requests. The act of combining Web services to achieve a common goal - also known as Web service composition - is a complex issue that should be addressed. Many programming languages were developed to realize interaction between services, such as XLANG, WSFL, and BPEL. However, these languages are meant for the implementation and execution rather than providing a visual representation of the composition. In the past few years, the research community has been trying to tackle this issue by proposing model-driven approaches with the main objective to reduce development time. Some of these approaches are based on formal methods in order to describe, analyze, verify and validate the composition. In other words, applying these methods in design phase helps designers to show explicitly the behavior of Web services, to reason on the composition behavior and verify its properties. In this paper, the authors survey model-driven approaches for service composition. The focus is on surveying and classifying approaches that follow model-driven engineering principles for creating high-level models rather than programming concepts.

“…In [4], Dumez et al introduced UML-S, an UML 2.0 profile to model Web services as well as their composition. Web services interfaces are modeled using UML-S class diagrams although their interactions are represented using activity diagrams, due to the dynamism involved.…”

Based on top of Web protocols and XML language, Web services are emerging as a framework to provide applicationto-application interaction. An important challenge is their integration in order to provide new value-added composite services, allowing consequently Business-to-Business relationships. Therefore, many composition languages have been proposed in the past few years. However, a weakness of these languages is that they are difficult to use in early stages of development, such as specification. Thus, an extension to UML 2.0, named UML-S, was introduced to develop composite Web services conforming to the modeldriven engineering vision. This paper introduces the necessary transformation rules between UML-S and low-level code to comply with MDE approach.
