“…Each aspect has sets of models, which contain the information needed to build the application. MDA defines levels of abstraction models (Fig 2 ): [3] ─ CIM (Computational Independent Model): it is the basic analysis model of the business or the field of application, it is independent of any computer system and describes the concepts of the business activity, the know-how of the processes, the terminology, and the management rules (high level), it also describes the situation in which the system is used and it is only modified if knowledge or business needs change (very long lifespan). The requirements modeled in the CIM will be taken into account in the construction of the PIM (Platform Independent Model) and PSM (Platform Specific Model).…”

A data warehouse (DW) is a vast repository of data that facilitates decision-making for businesses and companies. This concept dates back to the 1980s and it has been widely accepted. One of the key points for the success of the process of data warehousing lies in the definition of the warehouse model depending on data sources and analysis needs. Once the data warehouse is designed, the content and structure of the data sources, as well as the requirements analysis are required to evolve, therefore, an evolution of the model must take place (diagram and data). In this context, several approaches have been developed to design and implement data warehouses. Nevertheless, there is no standard process that deals with designing all of the data warehouse layers, also, there is no software that encompasses this type of problem. In general, the majority of these approaches focus on a particular aspect of data warehouse such as data storage, ETL process, OLAP, reporting, etc, and does not cover its entire lifecycle. A Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is a standard approach, its aims to support all phases of software manufacturing by promoting the use of models and the transformations between them. Moreover, this approach aims to automate the process of software engineering, thereby decreasing the cost of software development and enhancing its productivity. In this study, we present a systematic review of various works on the data warehouse design methods. We compare and discuss these works according to the criteria that seem relevant for this issue. We present a new design approach for multidimensional schemas construction from relational models using MDA techniques, we also develop the resulting research perspectives.

“…Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes the development of software systems by focusing on the creation of basic models and then transforming such models, across multiple levels of abstraction down to code generation (Rhazali, El Hachimi, Chana, Lahmer, & Rhattoy, 2019).…”

“…Accordingly, the CIM level means to represent only the business process reality, while the next level -Platform Independent Model (PIM)describes models in a way that is effective for analysts and designers. The lowest abstraction level is the Platform Specific Model -PSMmade basically of code models (Rhazali, El Hachimi, Chana, Lahmer, & Rhattoy, 2019).…”

“…A notable work about this crucial aspect is (Rhazali, Yassine, Hadi, & Mouloudi, 2016), where authors propose a methodology to master transformation from service-oriented CIM level to web-based PIM level. More recently (Rhazali, El Hachimi, Chana, Lahmer, & Rhattoy, 2019), a methodology has been proposed for the semi-automatic model transformation from CIM to PIM up to PSM.…”

Since most complex software systems are intrinsically multi-paradigm, their engineering is a challenging issue. Multi-paradigm modeling (MPM) aims at facing the challenge by providing concepts and tools promoting the integration of models, abstractions, technologies, and methods originating from diverse computational paradigms. In this chapter, the authors survey the main MPM approaches in the literature, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and compare them according to three main criteria—namely, (1) the software development process, (2) the adoption of meta-model techniques, (3) the availability of adequate supporting tools. Furthermore, the authors explore the adoption of other promising approaches for the engineering of multi-paradigm systems, such as multi-agent systems (MAS) and systems of systems (SoS), and discuss the role of situational process engineering (SPE) in the composition of multi-paradigm software processes.

“…These transformations can be performed through a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach (Object Management Group, 2017), as it directs the evolution of models in a manner that it is possible to obtain models closer to the implementation level. MDA directs the software development process through the utilization of models of distinct abstraction levels, from Computation Independent Models (CIM) to Platform Specific Models (PSM) and ultimately into programming code (Kleppe et al , 2003; Rhazali et al , 2020).…”

PurposeSecurity requirements play an important role in software development. These can be specified both in enterprise architecture models and in business processes. Enterprises increasingly carry out larger amounts of business processes where security plays a major role. Business processes including security can be automatically obtained from enterprise architecture models by applying a model-driven architecture approach, through a CIM to CIM transformation. The aim of this article is to present the specification of transformation rules for the correspondence between enterprise architecture and business process model elements focusing on security.Design/methodology/approachThis work utilizes motivational aspects of the ArchiMate language to model security in the business layer of enterprise architectures. Next, a set of transformation rules defined with the Atlas Transformation Language are utilized to obtain the correspondence of the enterprise architecture elements in a business process, modelled with a security extension of BPMN.FindingsA total of 19 transformation rules have been defined. These rules are more complex than element to element relations, as they take into consideration the context of the elements for establishing the correspondence. Additionally, the prototype of a tool that allows the automatic transformation between both models has been developed.Originality/valueThe results of this work demonstrate the possibility to tackle complex transformations between both models, as previous literature focuses on semantic correspondences. Moreover, the obtained models can be of use for software developers applying the model-driven approach.
