روش های تحول مدل خودکار در تجزیه و تحلیل سیستم اطلاعات

The main goal of this PhD project is to develop methods that will automate processing of transformation from one model to an- other model in information system analysis. More generally bridge the gap between business models and information analytics models. These methods will be implemented and proved. Transformation method will have impact to the developed tool OpenCASE. Methods will be based on existing theory, but will be processed in not known form. Method approach will be based on Model-Driven Architecture. In this paper will be described transformation approaches model-to-model and model-to-text. This will be compared to already known transformation methods.

This project is based on the idea to bridge the gap between the two worlds: The world of business, which is focused on processes and understanding the economics, and the world of informatics, which today contains many modern tools and techniques for software development. The modeling of Information Systems (IS) during the analysis phase is a crucial part of the IS development life-cycle. In the analytic phase, processes are tracked and modeled [3]. Modeling based on Model-Driven Architecture has a lot advantages for example metamodel mapping to model [11] and strong background of OMG [1]. The Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) [6] is an initiative by the Object Management Group (OMG) [1] to define an approach to software development based on modeling and automated mapping of models to implementations. The basic MDA pattern involves defining a platform-independent model (PIM) and its automated mapping to one or more platform-specific models (PSMs) [12]. This paper contains clearly formulation of the research question in this section 1 in subsection 1.2. Identifying a significant problem in the field of research in subsection 1.1. Outlines the current status of the problem domain and related solutions 2. Describes the research methodology that is applied or planned in section 3. Presents clearly any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far and outlines the contributions of the applicants work to the problem domain in section 4. Highlights contributions uniqueness in section 5. 1.1. Goal My research idea is to develop a method of transformation that will cover the gap between business modeling and software modeling. The objective of this PhD research project is a methodological framework to support an engineering approach to the development of IS (Information Systems) and more specifically model transformation in the analysis and design phases of IS development. The outputs will be verified using the prototype of a tool, which will perform this transformation. 1.2. Research Questions Methods of transformation that will connect over gap between business modeling and software modeling. We can use techniques from graph theory and automata theory (FSM - finite state machine) to connect over gap between business modeling and software modeling. If we have model based on FSM we can use it for simulation and transformation to another model. This graph-based approach or FSM-based approach is objective to connect business modeling and software modeling.

My goal is deterministic in approach and in methods, which I use for, automated transformation between models. I will analyze already known possible methods and formulate best practices and set new approaches for my goal. This approach will be formulated and implemented. First subgoal is formulate and prove methodical transformation framework. Formulation and proving will be madden in theoretical mathematical rigorous formulas and also will be proven. This formulation will be based on definitions and their proofs. Subgoal is implement and test methodical transformation framework. This developed framework will be extension of the current tool OpenCASE [15]. Next subgoal is to prepare this framework for standardization. This part will not be easy and can take approximately more than eight years from prototype to OMG standard. Another subgoal toward the holistic ontology-centred conceptual modeling will be implementing other types of diagrams, especially data- structure diagrams (UML Class Diagrams and OntoUML, [7]) and providing a means to make ontologic relations to the process diagrams [15]. In this paper, I formulated main research question and subquestion, I wrote my goal and subgoals of my PhD thesis, I described state of the art in my topic model-to-model transformation, I subscribed methodology, which was used and will be used for my project, I described previous results and I highlight uniqueness of my project contribution. My future plan is statistical research of developed methods in practice.
