Abstract
We propose a set of composition patterns based on UML activity diagrams that support the different forms of matching and integrating Grid service operations in a workflow. The workflows are built on an abstract level using UML activity diagram language and following an MDA composition approach. In addition, we propose a Domain Specific Language (DSL) which extends the UML activity diagram notation allowing a systematic composition of workflows and containing appropriate data to describe a Grid service. These data are useful for the execution of the resulting workflow.
