Generation of Repair Plans for Change Propagation

Abstract. One of the most critical problems in software maintenance and evolution is propagating changes. Although many approaches have been proposed, automated change propagation is still a significant technical challenge in software engineering. In this paper we present an agent-oriented change propagation framework based on fixing inconsistencies when primary changes are made to design models. A core piece of the framework is a new method for generating repair plans from OCL constraints that restrict these models.
