Our suggestion is founded on creating good CIM level through well-selected rules, allowing us to achieve rich models that contain relevant information to facilitate the task of the transformation to the PIM level. We specify, thereafter, an appropriate PIM level through different UML points of view (functional, dynamic and static) using a diagram for each one. Next, we present a set of well-defined rules to shift CIM to PIM so as to ensure an automatic transformation, the maximum possible. Our method follows the MDA approach by considering the business dimension in the CIM level, through the use standards modelling business of OMG (BPMN and Activity Diagram), and by using the UML in PIM advocated by MDA in this level.","PeriodicalId":256976,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123246472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, efficient integration of different heterogeneous modeling languages is essential. Modeling language integaration is onerous and requires in-depth conceptual and technical knowledge and effort. Traditional modeling lanugage integration approches require language engineers to compose monolithic language aggregates for a specific task or project. Adapting these aggregates to different contexts requires vast effort and makes these hardly reusable. This contribution presents a method for the engineering of grammar-based language components that can be independently developed, are syntactically composable, and ultimately reusable. To this end, it introduces the concepts of language aggregation, language embedding, and language inheritance, as well as their realization in the language workbench MontiCore. The result is a generalizable, systematic, and efficient syntax-oriented composition of languages that allows the agile employment of modeling languages efficiently tailored for individual software projects.","PeriodicalId":256976,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128753614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research has been aimed at finding ways of business process models discovering based on examples of traces, i.e., logs of workflow actions that do not meet the requirement of completeness. In this aim, we have modified the existing and introduced a new relation between activities recorded in the event log, which has led to a partial correction of the process models discovering techniques, including the α-algorithm. We have also introduced the notions of causally and weakly complete logs, from which our modified algorithm can produce the same result as the original algorithm from complete logs. The effect of these modifications on the speed of the process model discovering is mostly evident for business processes in which many activities can be performed in parallel. Therefore, this paper presents preliminary results obtained from the investigation of opportunities to discover models of parallel processes based on incomplete event logs.","PeriodicalId":256976,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129294101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there are various approaches to performance tuning, we focus here on the persistence layer the relational database. The relational data model is usually designed following the well-known normal forms. However, a fully normalized relational model often does not provide sufficient performance, and improper relational model design can easily lead to a slow and unusable relational database for particular operations. Our ORM approach is intended to exploit smart optimization techniques from the relational paradigm that abandon normalization and its positive effects, and trade them off for better performance. Our ORM approach hence combines the classical denormalization transformations, based on reducing or eliminating expensive database operations by the model restructuring, but applies them to a non-redundant conceptual UML model. In this paper, we also present the first step towards this goal: a catalogue of ORM transformation patterns.","PeriodicalId":256976,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD)","volume":"23 1 Pt 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128875713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, added to the improvements on the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), led to a paradigm shift from product-centrism to service-centrism and to the need to communicate and interoperate. Traditional segments like banking, insurance and aerospace subcontract a large number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are undergoing this change, and must ensure the criticality and accuracy of their business is not affected or impacted in any way. This also is an excellent motivation for improving the capabilities for capturing the knowledge about businesses, not only their processes and methods but also their surrounding environment. The EU co-funded FP7 TIMBUS project comprises tools and techniques to improve business continuity featuring an intelligent strategy for digital preservation of business assets and environments based on risk-management.

We therefore conducted an analysis of existing meta modeling languages and well known EML languages in order to derive the current state of the art in terms of EML extensibility. In addition to that, classification schemes for extension purposes and extension mechanisms are presented.
