Software has become the driving force in the evolution of many systems, such as embedded systems (especially automotive applications), telecommunication systems, and large scale heterogeneous information systems. These so called software-intensive systems, are characterized by the fact that software influences the design, construction, deployment, and evolution of the whole system. Furthermore, the development of these systems often involves a multitude of disciplines. Besides the traditional engineering disciplines (e.g., control engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering) that address the hardware and its control, often the system has to be aligned with the organizational structures and workflows as addressed by business process engineering. The development artefacts of all these disciplines have to be combined and integrated in the software. Consequently, software-engineering adopts the central role for the development of these systems. The development of software-intensive systems is further complicated by the fact that future generations of software-intensive systems will become even more complex and, thus, pose a number of challenges for the software and its integration of the other disciplines. It is expected that systems become highly distributed, exhibit adaptive and anticipatory behavior, and act in highly dynamic environments interfacing with the physical world. Consequently, modeling as an essential design activity has to support not only the different disciplines but also the outlined new characteristics. Tool support for the model-driven engineering with this mix of composed models is essential to realize the full potential of software-intensive systems. In addition, modeling activities have to cover different development phases such as requirements analysis, architectural design, and detailed design. They have to support later phases such as implementation and verification and validation, as well as to systematically and efficiently develop systems.

Use of Business Models within Model Driven Architecture Model Driven Architecture is a framework dedicated for development of large and complex computer systems. It states and implements the principle of architectural separation of concerns. This means that a system can be modeled from three different but related to each other viewpoints. The viewpoint discussed in this paper is a Computation Independent one. MDA specification states that a model that shows a system from this viewpoint is a business model. Taking into account transformations foreseen by MDA, it should be useful for automation of software development processes. This paper discusses an essence of the Computation Independent Model (CIM) and the place of business models in the computation independent modeling. This paper considers four types of business models, namely, SBVR, BPMN, use cases and Topological Functioning Model (TFM). Business persons use SBVR to define business vocabularies and business rules of the existing and planned domains, BPMN to define business processes of both existing and planned domains, and use cases to define business requirements to the planned domain. The TFM is used to define functionality of both existing and planned domains. This paper discusses their capabilities to be used as complete CIMs with formally defined conformity between planned and existing domains.
