“…This profile could not be transformed to BPEL4WS, to be executed, using the UMT tool which is used to transform UML standard models and not extended UML languages to be used for a specific domain. To fulfill these needs, we propose meta-model transformations established between UML patterns [8] based on our profile [8] specific to the systematic composition of Grid service workflow applications and BPEL4WS models. This transformation approach is based a formal framework to ensure the correctness of the transformations.…”

“…We save the user from the complex details of the Grid environment by proposing an MDA approach which separates the platform specific models from the independent model. This is ensured by proposing a meta-model transformation approach to transform Grid service workflow application models, described by the UML domain specific language, to BPEL4WS executable models, We define a formal framework to ensure the correctness of the proposed transformations We extend BPEL4WS which is an open source to be able to support all types of the used composition patterns [8]. sub-actions with the Grid service's operation chosen by the Grid workflow system [18].…”

“…To model and express the composed workflow of Grid services, we have defined and presented in [8] an UML profile based on Domain Specific Language (DSL) for customizing UML Activity Diagrams (UML-AD) for the systematic composition of workflows from Grid services. In addition, we have proposed in [8] a set of UML activity diagram patterns to express the different forms of matching service operations in a workflow. The provided model, based on these patterns, forms the Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the proposed MDA approach.…”

We use a Domain Specific Language (DSL) basedon UML activity diagrams (UML-AD) to specify and compose systematically workflow models from Grid services. To be executed, workflow activity diagram models should be translated into BPEL4WS models which will be executed by the BPEL4WS engine. To reach this objective, we propose a meta-model based transformation from UML activity diagrams to BPEL4WS language. To ensure the correctness and the completion of the transformation, we propose a graph homomorphic mapping between the activity diagram and BPEL4WS language elements.To execute the BPEL4WS provided model, we propose in this paper an execution infrastructure based on The Globus Tool Kit.
