Service-oriented domain and business process modelling

Abstract

We present Precise Service-Oriented Modelling (Precise SOM) - a novel lightweight method for integrated domain and business process modelling, which follows the service-oriented paradigm, and uses a UML profile as notation - and a detailed workflow to guide the production of the models. In our method the produced UML models are precisely defined by means of a metamodel, a set of constraints, and a limited set of UML constructs to help modellers to avoid common mistakes and to guarantee, by construction, a good quality. Precise SOM has been successfully used in an industry-academic project concerning the modelling of a big harbour.
