Abstract

UML 2.0 is the de-facto standard for graphical notation and modelling in software engineering and has a wide variety of usage scenarios. The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) is an XML-based language for specifying business processes, both abstract and executable, but does not include a graphical representation. This thesis specifies a UML 2.0 profile which enables the graphical representa-tion of BPEL processes with UML 2.0. It also details the implementation of this profile using the Rational Software Modeler and furthermore, the transformation of these UML 2.0 models to BPEL by means of transformation rules implemented as an Eclipse plug-in using a transformation engine. The results of this thesis include the specified profile and a specific implementa-tion (with some adaptations). It also includes the mapping rules and shows how they can be used to implement a mapping tool.
