Study Notes
Conference Modeling
- A conference consists of multiple talks, each with a pre-defined duration
- Talks can be delivered by one or more speakers
- Tracks must be located in different rooms
- The total duration of talks in a track must not exceed the track duration
- Breaks must not overlap with tracks
Domain Specific Modeling Languages
- A domain-specific modeling language is needed to help with specification
- OCL (Object Constraint Language) is a standardized language used to specify constraints on OO systems
- OCL was first developed in 1995 as IBEL by IBM’s Insurance division for business modeling
- OCL was used to define UML 1.2 itself
OCL Examples
- Example 1: Boilerplate code for an ATM class using Visual Paradigm
- Example 2: Property analysis and verification of code controlling tree lights
Modeling Languages
- There are many off-the-shelf modeling languages, each focusing on specific domains, problems, and systems
- Examples of modeling languages include:
- UML (object-oriented systems)
- Simulink (control systems)
- Archimate (enterprise architecture)
- BPMN (business modeling)
- ER (rational databases)
Domain-Specific Languages
- Models are useful for specific problems, but existing languages often lack appropriate abstraction
- Example: Organizing conferences using a domain-specific language
OCL Invariants
- Invariants can be defined on attributes, such as age restrictions
- Invariants can also be defined using navigation over association ends
- Examples of OCL invariants include:
- Customer invariant: age >= 18
- CustomerCard invariant: validFrom.isBefore(goodThru)
- CustomerCard invariant: owner.age >= 18
- CustomerCard invariant: printedName = owner.title.concat(' ').concat(owner.name)
