A model-driven framework for developing web service oriented applications

Abstract

The advancements made in terms of the capabilities of mobile devices have shifted the interest of service engineering towards frameworks that are able to deliver applications rapidly and efficiently. The development of services that can be fully functional in mobile environments and operable on a variety of devices is an important and complex task for the research community. In this work, we propose a Model-Driven Web Service oriented framework that combines Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) with Web Services to automate the development of platform-specific web-based applications. The importance of this work is revealed through a case study that involves modelling and generation of a representative Web Service oriented mobile application. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
