Description :

The objective of this project is to produce, as automatically as possible, high-quality code for web services from user-defined usage scenarios.

The following results were obtained so far.

• A generic architecture has been defined and validated as target architectural template to be instantiated and fulfilled during the generation process.
• A graphical editor has been designed and implemented to specify and refine end-user scenarios as UML sequence diagrams.
• A formal technique has been developed for generating statechart behavior models from scenario examples. The idea is to use such generated models as a basis for code generation. Compared with previous work in the literature, our technique requires less user-supplied information as input.
