Smart phones have various types of platform such as Android, Cocoa touch, and Windows Phone. As software is developed in one specific platform, it is impossible to use this software on different platforms. To solve this problem, this paper suggests UML model convergence with model conversion method to develop heterogeneous software per each platform. The suggested method consists of two stages: one TIM(target independent model) stage to abstract a model independent on the particular platform and other TSM(target dependent model) stage to convert the independent model into several target models based on the Model-to-Model transformation method. As a case study, a calculator model on Android oriented Platform is converted into another model on Windows oriented Platform.
