Abstract:
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.
