Supporting Non-functional Requirements in Services Software Development Process: An MDD Approach

摘要

This paper presents the πSOD-M method, an extension to the Service-Oriented Development Method (SOD-M) to support the development of services software by considering their functional and nonfunctional requirements. Specifically, πSOD-M proposes: (ⅰ) meta-models for representing non-functional requirements at different abstraction levels; (ⅱ) model-to-model transformation rules, useful to semi-automatically refine Platform Independent Models into Platform Specific Models; and (ⅲ) rules to transform Platform Specific Models into concrete implementations. In order to illustrate our proposal, the paper also describes how to apply the methodology to develop a proof of concept.
