TL;DR: A versatile and simple UML profile based on the Service Component Architecture specification for modelling services is proposed to provide a model environment in which to add extra-functional properties in service models.

Abstract: In order to tackle the entire web service life cycle, it is necessary to face how to model systems based on service functionality and also how to add extra-functional properties to modelled services. In this regard, we propose the use of UML for modelling services based on a component representation, in order to provide a model environment in which extra-functional properties are added, also using UML. The implemented models will be independent of a final implementation language or platform, thus making it necessary to specify a particular type of model into which to convert the independent one in a subsequent step. In order to meet this requirement a Jax-rpc-based meta-model is proposed for services and a soap tag, aspect- and policy-based ones for properties. The use of aspect-oriented techniques also at code level provides great system modularity and perfect traceability along the model-driven process.

1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Aspect-oriented techniques for web services: a model-driven approach1" ?

In this regard, the authors propose first of all to use UML for modelling services based on the Service Component Architecture ( SCA ) specification, in order to provide a model environment in which extra-functional properties are added, also using UML.

2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Aspect-oriented techniques for web services: a model-driven approach1" ?

Thus, this proposal allows properties to remain well encapsulated and decoupled at all stages of development, providing the possibility of generating properties and services automatically and independently.. Besides, disunion of concerns lets us benefit from good traceability, since any extra-functional property in the model can be located in the code clearly, avoiding its being tangled with the main functionality code and vice versa.
