Realizing an MDA and SOA Marriage for the Development of Mobile Services

The paper presents an approach for developing composite telecommunication services running on mobile phones which takes advantage of the use of model driven techniques as well as the loose coupling paradigm in SOA. A domain-specific UML dialect named SPATEL has been developed which serves as the basis for generating applications that can be deployed in distinct terminals and servers technologies. The composite services typically combines telecommunication enablers like SMS sending and GSM localisation with traditional IT components accessible over the internet, such as a Yellow Page facility. This work has been conducted in the context of the IST SPICE European collaborative project.
