Abstract

Model-driven Architecture frameworks provide an approach for specifying systems independently of a particular platform and for transforming such system models for a particular platform. But development processes based on MDA are not widely used today because they are in general heavy-weight processes - in most situations they cannot deliver (incrementally) partial implementations to be executed immediately. Executable UML means a execution semantics for a subset of actions sufficient for computational completeness. This chapter introduces a foundational UML (fUML) based action language (AL) and describes its concrete syntax. AL is used to describe the operations for iComponent - the proposed solution for a platform-independent component model for dynamic execution environments. Moreover, a UML profile for modeling components is defined and applied, following agile principles, to the development of service-oriented components for dynamic execution environments. The intended use of the proposed approach is enterprise systems.
