Automation of the Software Development Process from ReLEL Using the Praxeme Approach

Praxeme is an enterprise methodology designed to overcome the difficulties associated with the construction of enterprise information systems. The aspect that specifies the company's intentions represents the initial phase of the software development process in Praxeme. The use of the eLEL lexicon to express the intentional aspect of Praxeme enables the knowledge in the following aspects to be clarified. However, the logical modeling (logical aspect) from the intentional aspect represented by eLEL is largely lacking in conceptual information to be exploited in the purely IT aspect of Praxeme. In this paper, we propose the use of the ReLEL lexicon to specify the intentional aspect of Praxeme in order to automate the process covering the business and IT aspects of the enterprise. ReLEL is an enterprise terminology database and has precise information concerning the conceptual representation of an information system. For this purpose, we have proposed rules to automate the articulation that covers the intentional, semantic, logical and software aspects of Praxeme. We made use of the ATL and Acceleo language for the implementation of the transformation rules. The result obtained in this article is a SOAP web service of the software aspect of Praxeme.
