About SRML

SRML is a modelling language for service-oriented systems developed by the IST-FET-GC2 Integrated Project SENSORIA. SRML operates at the higher levels of abstraction of business modelling, i.e. it provides a number of semantic modelling primitives that are independent of the languages and platforms in which services are programmed and executed. In particular, SRML abstracts from the typical mechanisms made available by service-oriented middleware such as sessions and event/message correlation, as well as the brokers that are responsible for the discovery and binding of services. A formal computation and coordination model was developed for SRML over which qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were defined using the UMC model checker and the PEPA stochastic analyser. An algebraic semantics was also developed for the run-time discovery, selection and binding mechanisms. Finally, methodological aspects of engineering business services and activities were investigated, which were supported through extensions of use-case and message-sequence diagrams and tested over a number of case studies.
