AbstractGrid environments and software applications based on Grid Services are currently receiving a strong consid- eration. Nevertheless the development of such appli-cations is still di cult and error-prone because of the lack of appropriate notations based on widely used lan-guages such as UML. This paper introduces a classi- cation of services that interact in Grid environments and proposes an UML extension for Grid service- oriented applications. The extension is carried out by use of a UML pro le, that is a lightweight standard ex- tension mechanism that allows to specify the roles of the di erent services within UML diagrams and that can easily be incorporated into UML-based integrated development environments. The proposed pro le facil- itates the development of applications based on Grid Services and increases their reusability and maintain- ability. An example application is introduced to show how the pro le can be e ectively used to annotate ac-tivity diagrams, component diagrams and deployment diagrams.
