Profile UML2.0 for Specification of the SCA Architectures

Service Component Architecture (SCA) aims to simplify the construction of service oriented architecture (SOA) to encourage better the reuse and to be independent from used technologies. In the other hand, UML is a standard for modeling especially in industrial environments. To face this situation we recommend an adaptation of UML2.0 to SCA. It is in this context that we have defined a profile UML2.0 for SCA contain a set of stereotypes applied to metaclasses stemming from the metamodel UML2.0. These stereotypes are completed by formal constraints in OCL. Our profile introduces new elements to reflect the architectural concepts of SCA.
