“…Finally, almost all approaches consider a single process model as a basis for MDSDM, although a real model constitutes a collection of process models. Only three papers [75,25,29] consider the complete source model, but only [25] presents the implemented tool (ADBdesign).…”

“…The semiautomatic BPMN-based MDSDM is presented in [65,12,13,32,35], while the other proposals [76,56,35,45,31] are not implemented at all. Regarding the formalism level of the existing BPMN-based approaches, the formal rules are presented in [23,66], and partially in [30,29,31], while the others give only the informal guidelines. Regarding the source model completeness, only three papers [29,66,31] consider a collection of the source models, but none of the proposed approaches have been implemented.…”

The article presents an approach aimed at automatically deriving the initial conceptual database model from a set of business process models. The approach proposes the incremental synthesis of the target model by iteratively composing the partial conceptual database models that are derived from the models contained in the source set. The approach is implemented by the AMADEOS tool, which is the first online web-based tool enabling the automatic derivation of the conceptual database model from a set of business process models. The experimental evaluation proves that the implemented approach enables effective automatic derivation of the initial conceptual database model.

Existing approaches to business process model-driven synthesis of data models are characterized by a direct synthesis of a target model based on source models represented by concrete notations, where the synthesis is supported by monolithic (semi)automatic transformation programs. This article presents an approach to automated two-phase business process model-driven synthesis of conceptual database models. It is based on the introduction of a domain specific language (DSL) as an intermediate layer between different source notations and the target notation, which splits the synthesis into two phases: (i) automatic extraction of specific concepts from the source model and their DSL-based representation, and (ii) automated generation of the target model based on the DSL-based representation of the extracted concepts. The proposed approach enables development of modular transformation tools for automatic synthesis of the target model based on business process models represented by different concrete notations. In this article we present an online generator, which implements the proposed approach. The generator is implemented as a web-based, service-oriented tool, which enables automatic generation of the initial conceptual database model represented by the UML class diagram, based on business models represented by two concrete notations.

“…The approach to obtain the data model based on a set of interrelated business process models was presented and published in (Cruz et al, 2015b). In this improved approach we are able to extract the existing information about data (focusing our attention in persistent data) from a set of interrelated business process models and create a data model that can be used as a basis for developing a supporting software system.…”
