Abstract
Most reported MDA approaches give much attention to structural aspects in PSMs and in generated code, and less attention to the PIM level and the behaviour of the modelled applications. Consequently, application behaviour is generally not (well) defined at the PIM level. This paper presents an MDA-based approach that incorporates behaviour modelling at the PIM level in the development of a specific category of applications, i.e., context-aware mobile applications. The paper also illustrates a behaviour model transformation realized by using Medini QVT, which is a tool that implements the Query/ View/ Transformation (QVT) Relations specification defined by OMG for model-to-model transformations.
