Abstract

To contribute with the analysis of tools that attempt to acquire Computation Independent Model (CIM) from the domain system, authors explore the Integrated Domain Modeling toolset, and explain how it automatically acquires a formal CIM from description of a business system in a form of textual business use cases. This paper recognizes the computation independent nature of a Topological Functioning Model and suggests it to be used as a CIM within Model Driven Architecture. Authors of this paper share their experiences of using the toolset and mention several lessons learned during the usage process, as well as, their suggestions for improvements.
