Abstract-Although behavior modeling should play a central role in model-driven application development, it is still unclear how behavior modeling should be incorporated in model transformations. This paper presents an MDA-based approach that incorporates behavior modeling at the Platform-Independent Model (PIM) level of the design process of a specific category of applications, i.e., context-aware mobile applications. This approach includes two model transformations. The first transformation is a refinement of the (external) observable application behavior into a (internal) structured behavior based on a reference architecture. The second transformation is the synthesis of this structured behavior into the behavior of individual architecture components. This paper focuses on the second transformation and targets the behavior of a coordinator component that orchestrates the interactions between all the other components. We propose a state machines-based approach that can be used for synthesizing the coordinator component behavior in order to cope with synchronization and concurrency issues.

“…Therefore, it is in principle possible to use different middleware technologies to realize the platform-specific service design. Our previous work [4,5] focuses on the PIM level of this methodology, namely on the service specification and platform-independent service design model, and the transformations between these models. These transformations consist of gradual (automated) refinements that preserve correctness and consistency particularly of behavioural aspects, which are usually overlooked at the PIM level in the MDA community [14].…”

“…This reference architecture includes all the components typically used by such applications. In [4] we have also defined an (automated) design approach based on this reference architecture. This approach refines the monolithic abstract specification of a context-aware mobile application into the distributed behaviour of concrete components that interoperate with each other in order to achieve the goals of the application.…”

Abstract. Context-aware mobile applications are intelligent applications that can monitor the user's context and, in case of changes in this context, consequently adapt their behaviour in order to satisfy the user's current needs or anticipate the user's intentions. The design of such applications relies on dynamic middleware platforms that consist of a variety of components. These components are distributed in the environment and interoperate by making use of each other's services. In the A-MUSE project, we defined a design methodology based on MDA principles that relies on a SOA reference architecture for context-aware mobile applications. This paper shows how abstract concepts in the design of such applications can be applied to realize concrete components that guarantee architectural interoperability. We also present a platform-specific framework that uses BPEL, UDDI registry and web services as target technologies to implement our reference architecture.

“…We did not find a lot of work about this aspect, but we only aware of one paper, which present an MDA based that incorporates behaviour modelling at the PIM level in the development of a specific category of applications [8]. In this paper they mentioned that behavior PIM can be divided to more than one layer of abstraction, the first one is more independent than the other layers, while the deep one can be near more to PSM.…”

Mapping and transformation is a twin process in a high level system abstraction, which they playing corner stone of model driven architecture (MDA) technique. But the researchers on this field gave most attention for the static systems abstraction, while we find that almost systems in the world are dynamic with high frequency behavior changing. In this paper we will focus on what is the work has been done on behalf to behavior model transformation depending on four aspects; firstly is the semantics of behavior model, secondly is about the completeness of platform independent model (PIM), thirdly is about some language which are supporting behavior model transformation process, and the last aspect is the model composition which can be the perfect approach to deal with describing the large system that definitely has high complexity and hard understanding scale. General TermsModel Driven Architecture, Model Transformation, Software Engineering and Modeling.
