Knowledge-Based UML Use Case Model Transformation Algorithm

Abstract

Transforming and generating models is a meaningful process in Model Driven Engineering (MDE). Theoretical and practical researches for MDE have remarkably progressed recently in managing with the increase of complexity within information systems (IS) during their development and support processes by growing the level of abstraction using different kinds of models as information storage – as knowledge storage of problem domain. As models expand in use for developing systems, the possible transformation among models grows in importance. The main scope of the article is to present transformation algorithm of Unified Modelling Language Use Case model generation from Enterprise Model (EM). The transformation algorithm is presented in details and depicted by steps. The presented generation process steps are illustrated by particular UML Use Case example following the transformation algorithm step by step.
