The XMDD Approach to the Semantic Web Services Challenge

The Semantic Web Services Challenge addresses since 2006 the issue of finding adequate domain modeling formalisms that help taming the complexity of service orchestration and service discovery. In this chapter we sketch briefly our XMDD (eXtreme Model Driven Design) approach to the development of large service-oriented applications and describe how it was used to address the Challenge. Our approach gave rise so far to a collection of six solutions with different engines, methods, and profiles. We examine in this technological landscape the concrete settings, the dimensions of complexity that appear in the Challenge, and reflect on the essence of the evaluations and observations so far.
