A MOF based meta-model of IIS*case PIM concepts

Abstract

In this paper, we present platform independent model (PIM) concepts of IIS*Case tool for information system (IS) modeling and design. IIS*Case is a model driven software tool that provides generation of executable application prototypes. The concepts are described by Meta Object Facility (MOF) specification, one of the commonly sed approaches for describing meta-models. One of the main reasons for having IIS*Case PIM concepts specified through the meta-model, is to provide software documentation in a formal way, as well as a domain analysis purposed to create a domain specific langage to support IS design. Using the meta-model of PIM concepts, we can generate test cases that may assist in software tool verification.
