The fundamental concept behind the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approach is the development of many models, first the Computation Independent Model (CIM), then the Platform Independent Model (PIM), and lastly the Platform Specific Model (PSM) for the concrete implementation of the system. Web applications are just one example of customized software that is now being developed at an increasing rate. Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) was developed to represent the front end of any program that necessitates a powerful interaction with a user through the use of an interface, regardless of the technical details of its implementation. There are various modeling tools for IFML; the Webratio tool is an illustration that facilitates the generation of the entire web application. This article discusses the model transformations in the MDA's approach, starting from the CIM level up to the PSM level through the PIM level. To begin, we created the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and IFML metamodels in Eclipse tool, we created also the BPMN model, and we get the IFML model by applying the shift rules in Atlas Transformation Language (ATL). Finally, we generated the application using a standard tool that implements IFML Webratio tool. A CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) features for the after-sales service case study were provided to illustrate the conversion strategy from the CIM level via the PIM level to the PSM level.

“…BPMN is the business process modeling standard, and all of the advantages of business process modeling standards are focused on BPMN. Then, we transform CIM models into PIM models through web-oriented user interfaces using IFML [9], [10]; an OMG standard for user interface modeling; is a graphical modeling language used to define front-end application content, interface composition, user interaction, and control behavior for a range of applications such as web, mobile, and desktop software. Our methodology protects business knowledge throughout the PIM transformation, allowing the development of a high-quality information system.…”

Responding to rising information system complexity and the high expense of technological migration, model driven architecture (MDA) was created. As a result, the OMG advocates raising the abstraction level to overcome technological limitations. MDA seeks to describe the functional and performance requirements of an application on a platform independently. Using the MDA approach, the business process model and notation (BPMN), and interaction flow modeling language (IFML) standards, we represent a methodology that allows transforming semi-automatically from the computation independent model (CIM) level to the platform independent model (PIM) level; to achieve this a collection of unique rules for transforming in a semi-automatic manner from CIM to PIM were developed. At the CIM level, we create models of business process using the notation standard BPMN, and IFML is used to adapt PIM models with web-oriented graphical user interfaces (GUI). To properly demonstrate the transformation procedure from CIM to PIM models a case study of the order management process was presented.

“…The target model that is generated automatically will be presented by IFML model and is considered as one of the OMG modeling standard (OMG-IFML, 2015;Brambilla and Fraternali, 2014). Thus the IFML is a visual modeling language that expresses front-end applications content, interface composition, user interaction and control behavior for several kinds of applications, such as web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications (Brambilla and Fraternali, 2014;Hamdani et al, 2018;Laaz et al, 2018). So our method facilitates bridging the gap between the business value model and the interaction flow models, by allowing stakeholders who do not know about IFML creation to generate their own IFML models.…”

Nowadays the software industry has known a significant growth, while the end-users have become very demanding. In this sense, the model transformation has become one of the essential solutions to ensure competitiveness in the field of the software industry domain. For that, the Object Management Group (OMG) proposes for the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) approach three abstraction levels, namely Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM) and Platform Specific Model (PSM). Therefore, our contribution in this paper is to shed more light on the first MDA transformation, which is the transformation from CIM to PIM levels. We propose a disciplined Model-Driven approach for the e-business information system, which generates the IFML (Interaction Flow Modeling Language) model automatically in the PIM level from business value model in the CIM level, using the ATL transformation language. For this purpose, the business value model is illustrated by the E3value model, whereas, the IFML model exhibits the front-end applications content, interface composition, user interaction and control behavior for several kinds of applications, such as web applications, mobile applications and desktop applications.
