Abstract

In this work we present a tool that performs a transformation from a PIM (Platform Independent Model) to a PSM (Platform Specific Model) – expressed in CORBA IDL – according to the MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) specification. This tool, named TUPI (Transformation from PIM to IDL) is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language). It receives a XMI (XML Metadata Interchange Format) file that contains a textual description of the application PIM model and makes a transformation, using conversion rules, to the IDL language. ArgoUML is used as a support tool to construct the PIM model and to produce the XMI file. PIM follows the syntax proposed by the UML profile to EDOC. The conversion rules (the PIM-IDL mapping) are described in XSLT (eXtensible StyleSheet Language Transformation) – a XML standard language to transformations. These rules are processed by TUPI to produce the CORBA IDL application description corresponding to the application PIM model.
