Abstract

In this paper an ability to apply the two-hemisphere model-driven approach for creation of the UML class diagram is discussed and the way to avoid the limitations of the approach is offered. The result of the proposed improvement of the twohemisphere model-driven approach is the increased number of elements of the UML class diagram available for automatic generation and several statements for semi-automatic transformation of business process diagram and the concept diagram into software components. As a result, the authors can ascertain that it is possible to apply the improved twohemisphere model-driven approach in practice in the real software development, and not only for academic purpose.
