A Model-Driven Transformation Method

Model-driven architectures (MDA) separate the business or application logic from the underlying platform technology and represent this logic with precise semantic models. These models are supposed to span the entire life cycle of a software system and ease the software production and maintenance tasks. Consequently, tools will be needed that support these tasks. In this paper, we present a method that implements model-driven transformations between particular platformindependent (business view) and platform-specific (IT architectural) models. On the business level, we focus on business view models expressed in ADF or UML2, whereas on the IT architecture side we focus on service-oriented architectures with Web service interfaces and processes specified in business process protocol languages such as BPEL4WS.
