Knowledge-based UML models generation from enterprise model technique

Abstract

The scope of this article is to present knowledge-based Unified Modelling Language (UML) behaviour (dynamic) models generation from Enterprise Model (EM) technique. The main advantage of this method is that problem domain knowledge inducted during user requirements specification and business modelling IS lifecycle phases are validated and verified before formal criteria defined. In this case empirical factors which could adversely influence the whole IS development process are decreased. The beginning of generation process is a selection of concrete UML model and specific element from EM as the main one. In this article main steps of generation from EM are presented. The conclusive result of the generation from EM are UML dynamic models that specifies structure of specific problem domain and can be used by IS developers in further lifecycle phases.
