Towards Computer-aided Design of OCL Constraints

In UML2.0, significant efforts have been devoted towards a better definition of OCL. Still, the adoption of the language by the software engineers remains a significant challenge. This paper discusses the problem of helping UML analysts to express OCL constraints that link a pair of attributes from different classes. This help consists of finding a navigation path between the classes, and then choosing the best context to express the simplest constraint. Y. Ledru, S. Dupuy, H.
