Abstract
The paper presents research results of formal notations and Unified Modeling Language (UML) integration framework within the model driven software engineering. The originality of the solution is based on the combination of three technologies (formal notations, UML and category theory), in order to ensure their theoretical basis for integration in Model Driven Architecture. Framework is characterized by a principle according to which each UML model and corresponding formal specification is examined as an independent object, while morphisms between them specify how they are mutually linked. This allows to specify specific aspects of the system in a notation that is the best suited.
