A model-driven transformation method

The model transformation from Computation Independent Model (CIM) to Platform Independent Model (PIM) level is one of the crucial and difficult points in the implementation process of model-driven Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. For achieving the semantic conforming transformation between these two abstract modeling levels in Model Driven Architecture (MDA), a model transformation method based on ontology technology was proposed, which was a semi-automatic and general method. Firstly, the existing problems of model transformation from CIM level to PIM level in current studies were analyzed. Then, a model transformation framework based on ontology was built, the basic concepts relating to ontology were defined, and the whole architecture was described. After that, the transformation method was researched from two parts, the discovering of mapping rules and the occurrence of model transformation, which included the discovering technology of mapping rules based on similarity and the working principles of model transformation generator. Finally, a model transformation example was provided for validating the practicability and feasibility of proposed theories.

The research methods of trusted attribute based on model-driven for credibility problems in the development process of model-driven software proposed in the paper. An overall analysis for software requirements is carried out, considering the business specification and the need to achieve the function, testing the Integrity and accuracy of model in the PIM phase. Then, is a need to achieve the necessary component services in the concrete platform for implementing the business logic of PIM, studying the symmetry and reliability of model in the PSM phase. Finally, the use of transformation method of element mark to achieve the conversion of platform model, testing the transfer ratio of model in the phase of PIM transformed to PSM. The research of trusted attribute based on model-driven of MDA has effectively improved reliability and developing efficiency of software.

Independent Model

Since the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach appearance, model’s transformation has been considered as one of the main computing keys in the software industry, which grows exponentially to ensure competitiveness. For that, the Object Management Group (OMG) offers for the MDA approach three abstraction levels, which are Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM) and Platform Specific Model (PSM). Most researchers put much focus on the PIM to PSM transformation because these levels have multiple common points, but they disregard the CIM to PIM transformation. So, our defiance in this paper is to propose a disciplined method that generates the UML2 Sequence diagrams automatically from the E3value model. Therefore, we produce the UML’s behavior and interaction model in the PIM level, from the value-based requirements model in the CIM level. The transformations are done automatically using the Atlas transformation language (ATL). The purpose is to reduce the effort, time, and the development cost of projects as all transformations is automated, increasing the chance of being more competitive in the software industry.
