“…The process of data model synthesis in other two studies [73], [74] is manual. Among the remaining proposals for data model synthesis based on the CED [75] in [76], [77] and the ICONIX [78] in [78], [79], the semiautomatic synthesis of the data model is proposed in [77], [79], while others propose the guidelines for manual data model synthesis.…”

Abstract-This article presents a survey of model-driven techniques for data model synthesis. During an extensive research, we identified more than 70 research papers in the field and more than 15 different graphical notations used for the source model representation. We have classified the proposed approaches into four distinct groups: function-oriented, process-oriented, communication-oriented and goal-oriented. Their contributions are presented in chronological order and evaluated based on several main criteria. Although the idea of model-driven design of the data model is more than 25 years old, the survey shows the richness and diversity of ideas, but only a small number of implemented automatic generators.

“…With this transformation, we enhance a MDA software development process by obtaining an UML class diagram that will be the basis for a PIM (Platform Independent Model). Many proposals have been made to provide transformations from requirements models to class diagram models in MDA context, such as [1,3,8,23]. The main difference between these proposals and ours is the source requirements model used in the transformation.…”

A software system for any information system can be developed following a model driven paradigm, in particular MDA (Model Driven Architecture). In this way, models that represent the organizational work are used to produce models that represent the information system. Current software development methods are starting to provide guidelines for the construction of conceptual models, taking as input requirements models. In MDA the CIM (Computation Independent Model) can be used to define the business process model. Though a complete automatic construction of the CIM is not possible, we have proposed in other papers the integration of some natural language requirements models and we have defined a strategy to derive a CIM from these models. In this paper, we present an improved version of our ATL transformation that implements a strategy to obtain a UML class diagram representing a preliminary CIM from requirements models allowing traceability between the source and the target models.

“…A software system is always embedded in an environment; therefore, its requirements can not be defined without a proper consideration of the environment in which the system is embedded [21]. Definition of the system context, also called Universe of Discourse (UofD), may be considered the first phase in a software development process, and the models generated during this phase serve as an input for later phases, such as conceptual modeling [8]. The participation of stakeholders is crucial in this phase, as they have the knowledge and the needs of the organization.…”

“…Generally this model is obtained manually and it is the first model in MDA development process. Although it is not possible to define a completely automatic transformation to obtain a CIM, some works that may contribute in this way have been published, as for example [1,3,6,8,23].…”
