Abstract

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is widely used language for the specification of object-oriented designs. The Object Constraint Language (OCL) supplements this language by providing possibility to specify models in precise and unambiguous manner. However, the OCL is less suited for business rules (BR) modelling and validating with business people because it requires appropriate technical knowledge. This paper presents a decision table (DT) based approach for definition of business rules within UML/OCL models. The relevance between DT and different kinds of OCL expressions has been determined and approach to construct OCL expressions with DT has been considered.
