An automatic system modeling framework for information system engineering

System modeling is considered as a key issue to the Information System Engineering (ISE). According to the problems in current ISE, we propose seven guidelines for creating a modeling tool to solve them. Considering the achievements irt modeling field of the software process, we present an Object-Oriented Automatic System Modeling Framework (OOAMF) to meet those guidelines. OOAMF is rule-based and it can guide users incrementally to create a Rule-Based Object Model (RBOM) of a target system. OOAMF remembers the domain knowledge obtained from the previous modeling activities, and uses it to guide the following activities. The paper describes OOAMF, presents the formal description of RBOM, and demonstrates how the view of RBOM is mapped by the object transformation.
