Towards model checking OCL
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a logic, called BOTL (Object-Based Temporal Logic), that facilitates the specification of dynamic and static properties of object-based systems. The logic is based on the branching temporal logic CTL and the Object Constraint Language (OCL). Eventually, the aim is to do model checking. The formal semantics of BOTL is defined in terms of a general operational model that is aimed to be applicable to a wide range of object-oriented languages. A mapping of a large fragment of OCL onto BOTL is defined, thus providing a formal semantics to OCL and, at the same time, permitting model checking of OCL constraints.

OCL meets CTL: Towards CTL-Extended OCL Model Checking
In software modeling, the Object Constraint Language (OCL) is an important tool to specify properties that a model has to satisfy. The design of OCL reflects the structure of MOF-based modeling languages like UML and the tight integration results in an intuitive usability. However, OCL allows to express properties in the context of the current state of an instance model only but not with respec...

The popular process models for object-oriented software development do not comprise model checking techniques. Model checking tools which take UML class diagrams including OCL as input could facilitate the incorporation of model checking techniques into everyday software engineering workflows. This paper describes a two-step model checking approach for UML class diagrams including OCL: the clas...

In software modeling, the Object Constraint Language (OCL) is an important language to specify properties that a model has to satisfy. The design of OCL reflects the structure of MOF-based modeling languages like UML and its tight integration results in an intuitive usability. But OCL allows to express properties only in the context of a single instance model and not with respect to a sequence ...
متن کاملChecking OCL Constraints in Distributed Systems using J2EE/EJB
We present a pragmatic approach using formal methods to increase the quality of distributed component based systems: Based on UML class diagrams annotated with OCL constraints, code for runtime checking of components in J2EE/EJB is automatically generated. Thus, a UML–model for a component can be used in a black–box test for the component. Further we introduce different design patterns for EJBs...
متن کاملTowards a Formal Verification of Process Model's Properties SIMPLEPDL and TOCL Case Study
More and more, models, through Domain Specific Languages (DSL), tend to be the solution to define complex systems. Expressing properties specific to these metamodels and checking them appear as an urgent need. Until now, the only complete industrial solutions that are available consider structural properties such as the ones that could be expressed in OCL. There are although some attempts on be...
