Abstract

The growing number of UML profiles and the resulting extensive application of stereotypes, is turning themodeling process error-prone. In order to constrain their uses, OCL lacks mechanisms for effective evaluation of stereotypes and is sometimes cumbersome. This paper describes a set of mechanisms that allow more intuitive constraint specification. They exploit the meta-model architecture to constrain a model with a focus on use of stereotypes. Two examples are given to illustrate their applicability. A dedicated assessment tool is also described.
