A novel technique for static slicing of SoaML Sevice Interface Diagram

We present a novel technique for static slicing of SoaML Service Interface Diagram. In this technique, a Service Interface Diagram is converted into an intermediate representation which we have named as Service Interface Dependency Graph(SIDG). The SIDG identifies Service Call Dependency and Composite Dependency from Service Interface Diagram. Giving slicing criterion as input, our aglorithm traverses the SIDG and identifies affected service interface nodes. The novelty of our work lies in computation of slice based on SIDG and its dependencies induced within SIDG.
