Towards MDA implementation based on a novel BPMN metamodel and ATL transformation rules

A few research works have proposed a BPMN metamodel fully compliant to the BPMN specification. In a recent project called PERCOMOM and based on MDA approach, we have noticed the need to a BPMN metamodel and a transformation tool to handle automatically transformations from a BPMN model to an XML model. In this paper, we have proposed a BPMN metamodel and a set of transformation rules based on ATL to automatically handle those transformations. We have also applied and validate our approach on some samples of BPMN models.
