Abstract

In this paper, we report on our experiences integrating OCL evaluation support in an industrial-strength (meta-)modeling infrastructure. We focus on the approach taken to improve efficiency through what we call impact analysis of model changes to decrease the number of necessary (re-)evaluations. We show how requirements derived from application scenarios have led to design decisions that depart from or resp. extend solutions found in (academic) literature.
