Abstract

In this paper, we present a Domain Specific Language (DSL) to specify business and Web transactions in a systematic way, addressing both structural and behavioral perspectives. Our metamodel is based on the reification of transactions, where transactions are modeled as first-class types, supporting attributes, associations, operations and state machines. Treating transactions as domain type instances facilitates the interplay with other models, such as the navigational model, which is a view of the domain type model.
