Abstract.     

The vast diversity of implementation and support platforms forservice-oriented architectures (such as Web, Grid or even CORBA) increasesthe complexity of the development process of service-based systems. To reduce it, both the architectural properties of the SOC paradigm and a development approach based on the MDA proposal can be studied. This work describes a UML profile for the PIM-level service-oriented architectural modelling, as well as the correspondent metamodel. PIM (Platform Independent Model) level is chosen because it does not reflect constraints about any specific platform or implementation technology. The proposal sketched in this article is part of our research of a service-oriented development method (SOD-M) called MIDAS.

Keywords: Service-Oriented Architecture, Model-Driven Architecture, PIM-level modelling, UML Profiles.
