The Web servicestechnology relies on widely used and well-adopted technologies and open standards.A current trend in software engineering is model-based software development. Oneof the main goals of model-based software development is the e cient production ofhigh quality software.This thesis presents a comprehensive approach for the model-based development ofWeb services. The approach is based on a Web service pro le for the Uni ed ModelingLanguage (UML), which allows an e cient de nition of complete Web service models.Such Web service models allow the generation of the complete source code andthe corresponding platform-speci c con guration les necessary in order to run themodelled Web services. The code generation is realised by means of transformationand code generation rules de ned in the Xpand transformation language.
