Abstract

Cooperation between different enterprises to provide product and related services has become a must in order to set up win-win alliances and benefit better from market opportunities. This evolution has encountered several problems, like interoperability when trying to exchange data between heterogeneous systems. This paper shows how a model-driven approach can be an answer to service system implementation and interoperability problems. In particular it details the necessity to provide transformation mechanisms from conceptual description here Extended Actigram Star (EA*) models to more technical models such as BPMN 2.0 models. At the end the paper describes a last transformation to G-DEVS simulation models in order to validate, thanks to simulation, some behavioral properties of the BPMN model before going to implementation.
