Aocl : A Pure-Java Constraint and Transformation Language for MDE

Don Batory, Najd Altoyan

2020

Abstract

OCL is a standard MDE language to express constraints. OCL has been criticized for being too complicated, over-engineered, and difficult to learn. But beneath OCL’s complicated exterior is an elegant language based on relational algebra. We call this language Aocl, which has a straightforward implementation in Java. Aocl can be used to write OCL-like constraints and model transformations in Java. A simple MDE tool generates an Aocl Java 8.0 package from an input class diagram for Aocl to be used.
