Title
Transforming GRAI Extended Actigrams into UML Activity Diagrams: a First Step to Model Driven Interoperability
Abstract
One of the main weaknesses of Enterprise Modeling is the difficulty involved in generating software from enterprise models. In this context, a model-driven approach can be useful to improve this shortcoming by transforming these models at different levels of abstraction down to achieve the generation of code. The main advantage of this kind of approach is that it attempts to automate this transformation process as much as possible. However, interoperability problems arise in networked enterprises when they attempt to apply them, and the main obstacles to achieving the objective appear at a conceptual level. In this paper, we present a general proposal, called Model Driven Interoperability (MDI), for transforming models at different levels of abstraction focused on interoperability issues. At a conceptual level, this proposal provides a method for transforming GRAI Models into UML models, as a first step to achieving interoperability following a model-driven approach. The paper also describes a practical example of transforming a GRAI Extended Actigram into a UML Activity Diagram using a software tool in order to show its feasibility.
