Abstract

There is a gap between system requirements described with natural language and system design models described with formal language. In this paper, we present a framework for automatically mapping textual use cases to service component models from a model-based point of view. The generated models capture service component signatures and language independent dynamic behaviors. We have implemented our framework and demonstrated the benefits via a case study.
