A model-driven framework to integrate Communication Analysis and OO-Method: Supporting the model transformation *

Abstract. Models are now part of an increasing number of engineering proc-esses. However, in most cases, they are confined to a simple documentation role instead of being actively integrated into the engineering process. The model-driven development approach considers models as first-class entities and also considers tools, repositories, etc. as models. In order to take full advantage of these ideas, model transformation emerges as a main activity. Model trans-formation aims at supporting the production of target models from a number of source models. Following the model-driven development paradigm, we propose a model-driven framework to integrate Communication Analysis (a communi-cation-oriented business process modelling and requirements method) and OO-Method (an object-oriented model-driven development method). This inte-gration framework is composed of two stages: diagramming support and trans-formation support. This paper describes the second stage (the first stage was de-scribed in previous works). Phases, tasks, technological support and examples are presented. Finally, we conclude with an analysis and discussions about les-sons learned and an evaluation proposal to assess the usability of the transfor-mation module.
