Evaluation of OCL for Large-Scale Modelling: A Different View of the Mondex Smart Card Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
OCL is used to add rigour to UML/MOF models, and in particular can be used to express behavioural details (e.g., operation preand postconditions, class invariants) of such models. The applicability and utility of OCL can be assessed by applying it to realistic applications and by investigating its capabilities both in terms of language characteristics and tool support. With this in mind, in this paper we model functional requirements for the Mondex Smart Card Application using UML Diagrams, demonstrate how system invariants as well as operation preand post-conditions are specified in OCL, and explore the degree to which OCL tool support can be used to create and validate these models. Moreover, we discuss how these preand post-conditions can be validated, in part by discussing how test cases can be selected from the OCL specifications created.

متن کاملAlgebraic Approaches to Formal Analysis of the Mondex Electronic Purse System
Mondex is a payment system that utilizes smart cards as electronic purses for financialtransactions. The paper first reports on how the Mondex system can be modeled, specifiedand interactively verified using an equation-based method – the OTS/CafeOBJ method. Af-terwards, the paper reports on, as a complementarity, a way of automatically falsifying theOTS/CafeOBJ specification of...
