Models transformation is the most important key in Model Driven Architecture (MDA). The first transformation in MDA is Computing Independent Model (CIM) to Platform Independent Model (PIM) transformation, the second is PIM to Platform Specific Model (PSM) transformation. This latter transformation deals the two less abstract levels, PIM and PSM, for that most researchers focused on this kind of transformation. Nevertheless, the top level of abstraction, CIM, and its transformation to PIM is rarely discussed in research topics. Our goal in this paper is to represent an approach that allows mastering transformation from CIM to PIM in accordance with MDA. Our method based on creating a good CIM level, using construction rules, to facilitate the transformation to PIM level. Next, our transformation rules, implemented with Atlas Transformation Language (ATL), ensure a semi-automatic transformation from CIM to PIM. Our approach conforms to MDA, because it allows considering the business dimension in the CIM level, and it allows modelling this latter level by using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), this latter is the OMG standard for modelling the business process. However, we founded on UML to model PIM level, because UML is advocated by MDA in PIM. Our proposal results a set of classes, organized according to the Model View Controller (MVC)
