Abstract:
NOMIS is a human centred information systems modelling approach that is based on human observable
actions. It models a business domain through a set of views focusing on human actions, human interactions,
context for actions and information. These views are represented by a set of tables and diagrams using the
NOMIS graphical notation. The modelling elements depicted in these views are defined in the NOMIS
metamodel. NOMIS metamodel and graphical notation are a first step for formalizing and automate the design
and implementation of computer applications with NOMIS. In this paper, we propose to develop NOMIS
applications using a Model Driven System Engineering approach. The suggested approach will define
formally NOMIS models and notation and, using model transformations, will derive a code structure to be
used by the computerized information system, and a schema for a relational database supporting business
data. Additionally, other components of a specified application middleware w
ill be created.
