The consistency of UML diagrams is a nature for checking whether diagrams are coherently designed with only one requirements and the correctness of UML Diagrams, especially it uses OCL(Object Constraint Language) which is standard constraint language in UML. Firstly we devise metamodels that are described with conponent and relationships, then we derive verification rules from each matamodels for verifying correctness and consistency, and then we formally specify the rules with OCL for automatic verification. Finally we verify the rules with USE TOOL.

Because most metricsin the literatures are described by a natural language, they can be interpreted in an ambigous manner. To cope with this problem, there are some researches to express based on Object Constraint Language(OCL). Because OCL has been proposed to describe structural constraintsfor Unified Modeling Language(UML) diagrams, it is difficult and awkward. In this paper, we propose Metric Description Language(MDL) which is a high level language to describe metrics. MDL supports a modular description of complex metrics, aggregation function, and automatic navigation between entities. Moreover, we develop MetriUs for describing metrics using MDL and supporting an automated computation for UML diagrams. In a case study, we have described a variety of existing metrics using MDL and found that MDL contributes to producing simpler expression of metrics than OCL.

데이터베이스에 대한 제약사항들은 소프트웨어의 개발 및 사용에 있어 개발자와 사용자가 모두 참고해야 하는 중요한 사항임에도 불구하고 데이터베이스 모델링괴 소프트웨어 모델링의 불일치 및 표현 방법의 차이로 인해, 일관성 있는 제약사항 명세 및 설계에 많은 어려움을 겪어왔다. OCL(Object Constraint Language)은 객체의 제약사항을 표현하는 언어로서 UML(Unified Modeling Language)의 일부분이다. 본 논문은 객체의 제악사항을 표현하는데 사용하던 OCL을 데이터베이스의 제악사항을 설계에 일관성 있게 표현, 반영하기 위하여 사용하는 기법을 제시하고, 이에 대한 검증을 수행하는 방법에 대한 연구이다. 본 논문에서는 요구사항에서 추출한 데이터베이스의 제악사항을 정의한 규칙에 따라 추출해내고, 이를 OCL의 표현법을 이용하여 정형적으로 표현한다. 그리고 그 OCL의 형식적 표현을 ODL(Object Description Language)로 정의하는 기법을 정의함으로서 이에 대한 일관성 검증을 수행하는 기법을 제안한다.

Statistics concerning software errors indicate that more errors are introduced in analysis and design phase than implementation phase. Therefore, it is needed to check whether the design modeling is appropriate for own function and structure. This paper discussed the effective test method for the object-oriented design model, i.e., UML. A new method was proposed for generating test data. This method consists of category partition theory by the representation each element in UML model with OCL (Object Constraint Language). Test data generated in this way can be used for testing the source code functionality as well as for checking the design model.

OCL was used in the UML Semantics document to specify the well-formedness rules of the UML metarmodel. UML was extended to apply it to system developments of several fields, for example real-time UML and web applications with UML. In particular the dependability is important in designing and building hard real-time system. Thus OCL is needed to express real-time UML formally and so it must extended. In this paper, we extend OCL to define event-driven real-time OCL to the development of Nrcl simulator.

As a part of ebXML(Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language) framework, BPSS(Business Process Specification Schema) has been provided to support the direct specification of the set of elements required to configure a runtime system in order to execute a set of ebXML business transactions. The BPS,' is available in two stand-alone representations, a UML version and an XML version. Due to the limitations of UML notations and XML syntax, however, current ebXML BPSS specification fails to specify formal semantic constraints completely. In this study, we propose a constraint classification scheme for the BPSS specification and describe how to formally represent those semantic constraints using OCL(Object Constraint Language). As a way to validate p Business Process Specification(BPS) with the formal semantic constraints, we suggest a rule-based approach to represent the formal constraints and demonstrate its detailed mechanism for applying the rule-based constraints to the BPS with a prototype implementation.

Nowadays, XML has been favored by many companies internally and externally as a means of sharing and distributing data. there are many researches and systems for modeling and storing XML documents by an object-oriented method as for the method of saving and managing web-based multimedia document more easily. The representative tool for the object-oriented modeling of XML documents is UML (Unified Modeling Language). UML at the beginning was used as the integrated methodology for software development, but now it is used more frequently as the modeling language of various objects. Currently, UML supports various diagrams for object-oriented analysis and design like class diagram and is widely used as a tool of creating various database schema and object-oriented codes from them. This paper proposes an Efficinet Query Modelling of XML-GL using the UML class diagram and OCL for searching XML document which its application scope is widely extended due to the increased use of WWW and its flexible and open nature. In order to accomplish this, we propose the modeling rules and algorithm that map XML-GL. which has the modeling function for XML document and DTD and the graphical query function about that. In order to describe precisely about the constraint of model component, it is defined by OCL (Object Constraint Language). By using proposed technique creates a query for the XML document of holding various properties of object-oriented model by modeling the XML-GL query from XML document, XML DTD, and XML query while using the class diagram of UML. By converting, saving and managing XML document visually into the object-oriented graphic data model, user can prepare the base that can express the search and query on XML document intuitively and visually. As compared to existing XML-based query languages, it has various object-oriented characteristics and uses the UML notation that is widely used as object modeling tool. Hence, user can construct graphical and intuitive queries on XML-based web document without learning a new query language. By using the same modeling tool, UML class diagram on XML document content, query syntax and semantics, it allows consistently performing all the processes such as searching and saving XML document from/to object-oriented database.

UML is a semantically rich language, but it is difficult to ensure consistency of the diagrams you have written. Therefore, in this paper, we propose cross checking rules to improve consistency between UML diagrams, especially between UML static diagram and dynamic diagram. We use metamodels in order to more clearly reflect interactions of UML elements in the checking rules and use OCL(Object Constraint Language) to accurately represent the checking rules. By comparing with the well-formedness rules of UML specification, we focus on consistency of UML diagrams. And we derive metamodels of static diagram and dynamic diagram, analysis the relationships of UML diagrams and finally, we test the usability of derived rules through a case study.

USE는 OCL(Object Constraint Language)로 작성된 UML 다이어그램의 제약조건을 검증해볼 수 있는 가장 뛰어난 도구이다. USE는 다이어그램에 적용되는 제약조건을 미리 저장해두고 검증 다이어그램을 명령어 형태로 입력받아 정확성 또는 일관성을 검증하는데 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 검증과정의 복잡함을 줄이기 위하여, UML 모델링 시에 검증 대상이 되는 다이어그램의 USE 명령어를 생성하는 효율적인 도구를 설계하고 구현한다.

Refactoring is a kind of software modification process that improves system qualities internally but maintains system functions externally. What should be improved on the existing source codes should take precedence over the others in such a modification process using this refactoring. Martin Fowler and Kent Beck proposed a method that identifies code smells for this purpose. Also, some studies on determining what refactoring will be applied to which targets through detecting code smells in codes were presented. However, these studies have a lot of disadvantages that show a lack of precise description for such code smells and detect limited code smells only. In addition, these studies showed other disadvantages that generate ambiguity in behavior preservation due to the fact that a description method of pre-conditions for the behavior preservation is included in a refactoring process or unformalized. Thus, our study represents a precise specification of code smells using OCL and proposes a framework that performs a refactoring process through the automatic detection of code smells using an OCL interpreter. Furthermore, we perform the automatic detection in which the code smells are be specified by using OCL to the java program and verify its applicability and effectivity through applying a refactoring process.
