Disciplined approach for transformation CIM to PIM in MDA

This paper suggests a disciplined approach to mastered transformation of CIM level to PIM level in accordance with the MDA approach. 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.
