Customization of Service-Oriented Domain Models Using SWRL

In service-oriented software development, configuring and composing software services for users according to their personalized requirements become increasingly important. In our previous work, we have proposed a meta-model framework to describe personalized requirements involving domain-related services, based on which we can create domain models to be reused in dealing with personalized requirements. Faced with users´ specified requirements, how to select and customize domain models to satisfy both their personalized requirements and domain restrictions remains an important issue. Towards this end, in this paper, we adopt a rule reasoning approach to customize domain goal models using the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL). Two kinds of SWRL rules are defined for recommending and verifying users´ selected goals. These selected goals can be used to find corresponding processes or services to satisfy users´ requirements within our framework. Experiments and implemented prototype show the feasibility of the proposed approach.
