Platform Independent Model Transformation based on Architectural Patterns

Abstract

In this paper, we present the development of a model-driven approach to transform platform independent models (PIMs) based on architectural patterns. Model Transformation is a fundamental concept in nowadays software development to manipulate models during its lifecycle e.g. due to changing requirements or platform technologies. We use model transformation techniques to transform profile-enriched UML2 models into platform specific models (PSMs). These PSMs could be used later as an input for common code generation frameworks to derive platform specific implementations (PSIs). As an example of a possible architectural pattern, we define a UML profile that is based on the well-known Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, an architectural pattern commonly used in software engineering to isolate business logic from user interface considerations.
