Model Driven Architecture Based Development Method for Effective Integrated Service Oriented Architecture

Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) have emerged as a major evolutionary step in enterprise integration. Significant advances have been seen in SOA and MDA. Several literatures have been published about the web service being the solution to interoperability challenges within the SOA framework. The aim of this literatures was to find out, if the SOA infrastructure will actually solve these challenges. Based on Unified Modeling Language (UML), the MDA supports applications over their full lifecycle starting with design and moving into coding, testing, and deployment, maintenance, and eventually to evolution to new platform. In this research, a method to integrate services is introduced to ensure productivity and flexibility and automation of service integration by using model driven architecture, a method illustrated using "Car's Robbery Report Service" as case study. As a result of using this method, a web services integration developed in productive way, and WSDL code generation using automated code generation tool in small time and lower cost.
