Logical data model transformations driven by non-functional requirements

Abstract

MDA can be easy adopted to data models. Conceptual, logical, and physical database models can be regarded as PIM, PSM and code level within MDA architecture. MDA transformations concentrate on functional demands and aim in data preservation. However, beside functional also non-functional demands should be taken into account within model driven development. Non-functional requirements can influence both vertical and horizontal transformations between models.
