“…Concerning the transformation criteria, we have just five methods which are based on the metamodel such as [18], [20], [21], [24] and our proposed method. Thus, for the transformation automation, we notice some methods; use their algorithm [39] like [21], [23] and [26] while other methods transform their models relying on a transformation language; for instance, QVT for [18] and [24] or ATL in our proposal. However, we have other methods that transform their models manually relying on Human language like [14], [16] and [20].…”

Since the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach appearance, model’s transformation has been considered as one of the main computing keys in the software industry, which grows exponentially to ensure competitiveness. For that, the Object Management Group (OMG) offers for the MDA approach three abstraction levels, which are Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM) and Platform Specific Model (PSM). Most researchers put much focus on the PIM to PSM transformation because these levels have multiple common points, but they disregard the CIM to PIM transformation. So, our defiance in this paper is to propose a disciplined method that generates the UML2 Sequence diagrams automatically from the E3value model. Therefore, we produce the UML’s behavior and interaction model in the PIM level, from the value-based requirements model in the CIM level. The transformations are done automatically using the Atlas transformation language (ATL). The purpose is to reduce the effort, time, and the development cost of projects as all transformations is automated, increasing the chance of being more competitive in the software industry.

“…Besides, for the evaluation approaches criteria; all methods use a case study for their theoretical assessment methodology. However, just four methods use a practical assessment methodology; for example, methods [21], [23] and [26] use their tool, while, in this method, we use a standard tool «Eclipse» [33].…”

One of the most crucial objectives of enterprises is bridging the gap between its businesses and information systems. In this vein, many approaches have emerged among them: the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). This approach is an initiative of the Object Management Group (OMG) and considers the model as the central entity in the software systems development process offering many techniques allowing transformation between models. In addition, the OMG introduces for the MDA three abstraction levels, namely Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM), and Platform-Specific Model (PSM). This contribution proposes a disciplined method that ensures an automatic alignment between businesses and information system models at CIM and PIM levels. The source model consists of E3value model, which is the Business Value model, whereas, the generated model represents UML2 Communication diagrams, that are the UML's behavior and interaction models. The transformation is achieved automatically using meta-models and ATLAS Transformation Language and proved to be effective.
