Abstract To contribute to the analysis of tools that attempt to acquire a Computation Independent Model (CIM) from the domain system, the author explores the Integrated Domain Modeling toolset and explains how it automatically acquires a formal CIM from description of a business system in the form of textual business use cases. This paper recognizes the computation independent nature of a Topological Functioning Model and suggests it to be used as a CIM within a Model Driven Architecture. The author of this paper shares her experience of using the toolset and mentions several lessons learned during the usage process as well as her suggestions for improvements.

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.
