This paper recognizes the computation independent nature of a Topological Functioning Model (TFM) and suggests it to be used as the Computation Independent Model (CIM) within Model Driven Architecture (MDA). To step towards the completeness of MDA and enable the automation of system analysis the Topological Functioning Model for Model Driven Architecture (TFM4MDA) method is considered. A project of implementing TFM4MDA as a TFM Tool is suggested to enable artificial intelligence in system analysis and software development. The main components of the tool are a TFM Fetcher for system’s informal description analysis, TFM Editor and TFM Transformer for TFM to UML transformation. This paper discusses the specific text analysis tasks at the beginning of MDA life cycle and the implementation challenges of the TFM Fetcher component.
