Open work of two-hemisphere model transformation definition into UML class diagram in the context of MDA

Abstract

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is based on models and distinguish between a system functionality specification and this specification realization on a given technological platform. MDA consists of four models: CIM (Computation Independent Model), PIM (Platform Independent Model), PSM (Platform Specific Model) and code model, all these are parts of the MDA transformation line: CIM->PIM->PSM->code. A PIM model has to be created using a language which is able to describe a system from various points of view, system behavior, system's business objects, system actors, system use cases and so on. Current paper discusses the application of two-hemisphere model for construction of UML class diagram as a part of PIM. Several solutions for determination of elements of class diagram from two-hemisphere model are currently researched and described in the paper. As well as application of the transformations by example of insurance problem domain are presented in the paper. © 2011 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
