Architecting SOA solutions from enterprise models: A model driven framework to architect SOA solutions from enterprise models

The improvement of the operational efficiency is an important concern in the several kinds of enterprises, but it involves the management of a multitude of elements. To be able to cope with such as complexity several enterprises are relaying in the use of enterprise modelling tools. This usually becomes a starting point for business process automation initiatives towards the improvement of the organisation. However, there is still a large gap from these enterprise models to the infrastructure systems. The current paper presents a MDA (Model Driven Architectures) framework over eclipse platform to address this gap for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) based solutions and more in deep the notation and transformation aspects of the framework. The framework provides a systematic approach for deriving SOA solutions from enterprises models, ensuring that the information systems really implements the models developed by the business experts and no partial interpretations from IT experts.
