Acting as the natural extension to the main ECOWS conference, the main goal of the WEWST workshop is serving as a forum for providing early exposure and much needed feedback to grow and establish original and emerging ideas within the Web Services community. The wide variety of tools, techniques and technological solutions presented in WEWST share one common feature: they advance the current Web services research in new directions by introducing new and sometimes controversial ideas into the field.}, keywords = {Web services}, isbn = {978-3-7643-8864-5}, url = {http://www.springer.com/birkhauser/computer+science/book/978-3-7643-8863-8}, editor = {Thomas Gschwind and Cesare Pautasso} } @conference {ibm:2007:agtive, title = {Combining Quality Assurance and Model Transformations in Business-Driven Development}, booktitle = {Third International Symposium on Applications of Graph Transformations with Industrial Relevance (AGTIVE 2007)}, year = {2007}, month = {October}, pages = {1-16}, abstract = {Business-driven development is a methodology for developing IT solutions that directly satisfy business requirements. At its core are business processes, which are usually modeled by combining graphical and textual notations. During business-driven development, business process models are taken to the IT level, where they are implemented in a Service-Oriented Architecture. A major challenge in business-driven development is the semantic gap between models captured at the business and the IT level. Model transformations play a major role in bridging this gap. This paper presents a transformation framework for IBM WebSphere Business Modeler that enables programmers to quickly develop in-place model transformations, which are then made available to users of this tool. They address various user needs such as quickly correcting modeling errors, refining a process model, or applying a number of refactoring operations. Transformations are combined with quality assurance techniques, which help users to preserve or improve the correctness of their business process models when applying transformations. }, keywords = {business driven development, model-driven engineering}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-89020-1_1}, author = {Jana Koehler and Thomas Gschwind and Jochen Malte K{\"u}ster and Cesare Pautasso and Ksenia Ryndina and Jussi Vanhatalo and Hagen V{\"o}lzer} }
