Abstract

This article focuses on using of top level Model Driven Architecture (MDA) modelling and how automatic transformation to lower levels can be accomplished in information systems development. The primary aim of this work is to design a systems approach to Computer Independent Model (CIM)-Platform Independent Model (PIM) transformation in MDA. These approaches to CIM-PIM transformation are designed for selected models representing CIM and PIM levels of abstraction. The final automated CIM to PIM transformation we present is based on business process modelling by means of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). Models of business processes in BPMN are stored in Extensible Markup Language Process Definition Language (XMLPDL/XPDL) format, which is used for automated transformation into selected Unified Modelling Language (UML) design models, using transformation algorithms generated in eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) language.
