DATA FLOW FORMALIZATION

Abstract

The Object Constraint Language OCL is an extension of the UML notation for the expression of restrictions on diagrams. We propose to take advantage of its all expression capabilities for validating the UML system properties. For this purpose, we develop an approach to support the OCL invariant verification on the colored Petri nets derived from the UML modeling. A case study is given throughout the paper to illustrate the approach.
