SMICE: A platform supports business process modeling and integration

In order to solve the problem that business user do not master the techniques to describe their purposes by IT language while IT developers can not understand the real meaning of their customers´, MDA approach provides a standard mechanism that can compensate this gap between different stockholders. MDA approach may use complicate models and contain many tools and rules which is difficult for user to implement. In this article, we propose a platform SMICE based on MDA architecture and automated process. We define the Software development life cycle by using SMICE. And mapping rules and tools are introduced in each MDA level. With SMICE´s help, both users and developers can cooperate and communicate better in CIM, PIM, and PSM level. At the end of this paper, we use GEF and XML to setup a SMICE prototype to implement the basic functions about defining the process logic and transferring this logic to some acceptable languages for mature process execute engines.
