A new methodology CIM to PIM transformation resulting from an analytical survey

Abstract

Our paper shows a new methodology for controlling the models transformation from CIM to PIM into model driven architecture. In this proposal we founded on an analytical survey. Our methodology is based on creation of the transformable models in CIM level to facilitate the transformation task to the PIM level. We create a good PIM level, according to the three classic modelling views. Then, a set of transformation rules are established through ATL language to assure a semi-automatic transformation between CIM and PIM. Our methodology ensures the recommendations of MDA approach by presenting business process in CIM level through BPMN which is OMG standard for modelling business process. However, we founded on UML to model the PIM level, because UML is advisable by MDA in PIM.
