Abstract
During the last years, the area of Service Science Management and Engineering (SSME) is one of those fields that have benefit from the advantages brought by Model-Driven Engineering in terms of leveraging the abstraction level at which software is conceived, designed or even implemented. One of the key issues in SSME is evolution, given the non-trivial nature of updating widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. In this context, this work introduces an EMF-based toolkit that bundles different DSLs, injectors/extractors and transformations to put into practice and explore some formal theories on the evolution of Web Services.
