Transformation approach CIM to PIM: from business processes models to state machine and package models

This paper presents a method to control transformation from CIM level to PIM level in agreement with MDA approach. Our method is based on establishing a good CIM level via well-selected rules allowing us to obtain rich models that facilitate the task of transformation to PIM level. We specify, thereafter, a concentrated PIM level through different UML diagrams models (state machine, class and package diagram). Next, we define a set of well-defined rules for moving from CIM to PIM, so as to ensure a semi-automatic transformation. Our method respects MDA approach by considering business dimension in CIM level, however, our approach based in this level on business modeling standards of OMG. Nonetheless, we use the UML diagram models in PIM, because UML is advocated by MDA in this level.
