CIM to PIM Transformation: A Reality

Within the scope of MDA, the model transformation is orientated towards solving the problems of time, cost and quality associated with software creation. Moreover, business process modeling, through the use of industrial standards such as UML or BPMN, offers us a good opportunity to incorporate requirements at high levels of abstraction. We consider Secure Business Process models such as the Co...

Model transformation is one of the main issues and key elements in Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Computation Independent Model (CIM) to Platform Independent Model (PIM) transformation is the first transformation in MDA and it is very important in designing high quality software. Several CIM to PIM transformation approaches have emerged, they have not been objectively analysed yet. In this pa...

A Primer on PIM

PIM Definition and Description

Answering the requirement of the Model-Driven Architecture approach, as well as the general needs of engineering process definition, requires to precisely define the content and structure of the different models to be produced at project development time. For each model, the following questions must have an answer: What are its content and its objectives? What are the modelling concepts to be u...
