Profile annotation for adaptable Web Service description

Published:26 March 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

With the emerging of SOA, Web Services are used frequently to build software applications in a loosely coupled manner. A Web Service is the wide popular implementation of SOA. It is a software component allowing to expose services via Internet. It insures interactions between heterogeneous applications and systems and is platform independent. With the increasing growth in popularity of Web Services, discovering relevant Web Services becomes a significant challenge. Nevertheless, existing Web Services offer the same result regardless the user profile. Therefore, we are interested in defining an adaptable Web Service architecture. In a previous work we have proposed an UML extension named AWS-UML that describes the different allowed users profiles at the metamodel level according to the MDA principles and standards. As we modified the modeling process of the Web Service and so the resulting implementation code, we need also to extend the service description in order to support the additional adaptation informations. Thus, we introduce in the current paper an extension of the standard WSDL used to describe the service offered functionalities. Our proposal is named AWS-WSDL.
