ERP Oriented Enterprise Modeling And Model Transformation With UML Models

In this dissertation, we study interoperable enterprise modeling and model transformation based on XMI. This dissertation starts with presenting a complete lifecycle of ERP oriented enterprise modeling method——ICEM(Interoperable and Configurable Enterprise Models) graphic modeling. We discuss the composing and semanteme of ICEM models. Besides, we define the graphic expression and strict formalization of all ICEM models. This modeling method expands enterprise modeling to important measure of building ERP systems. Then, we discuss model transformation between ICEM models and UML models based on XMI. This dissertation presents formal definition of UML models and model mapping rules and establishes form of model mapping rules based on XML. This method implements model auto-transformation and gives a realization of MDA based framework. Then, in this dissertation, we propose the design and realization of ICEM graphic modeling tools.In ICEM graphic modeling method, graph objects are parts of the model and can participate in the application of models. UML is an important standard of MDA. The model transformation between ICEM models and UML models makes ICEM models to be applied to MDA pattern easily. And also it makes the integration of ICEM models and other MDA based models easy. Based on model transformation, ICEM models give an important method of model interoperability and integration.
