Modelling Distributed Service Systems with Resources Using UML

Web services managing distributed resources is a technology that allows the user to have an easier and cheaper mechanism to access and manage distributed resources. Then, the formal modeling of web services with distributed resources becomes very important in order to understand accurately their behavior. In this paper, we present a framework to model these systems by using a widely adopted standard (UML 2.0), enriched with the resource management capabilities, on the basis on WSRF.
