Abstract :
In Object Management Group model driven architecture models are the primary artifacts during software development, which are presented at the different levels of abstraction from programming details. Class diagram is the most often used model for visual representation of static aspects of software system, but still the formal generation of class diagram from problem domain is under investigation. The paper describes principles of development of class diagram at the conceptual level by using problem domain knowledge presented in the form of two-hemisphere model. Problem domain is presented as two interrelated models of the most important aspects of a system, namely, business process and concept models. Abilities of class diagram generation from two-hemisphere model are presented as a collection of graph transformations and are demonstrated by practical example for abstract problem domain.
