HOL-OCL - An Interactive Proof Environment for OCL

Print PDF
HOL-OCL LogoHOL-OCL is an interactive proof environment for the Object Constraint Language (OCL). It is implemented as a shallow embedding of OCL into the Higher-order Logic (HOL) instance of the interactive theorem prover Isabelle. HOL-OCL is developed by Achim D. Brucker and Burkhart Wolff.

HOL-OCL defines a machine-checked formalization of the semantics as described in the standard for OCL 2.0. This conservative, shallow embedding of UML/OCL into Isabelle/HOL includes support for typed, extensible UML data models supporting inheritance and subtyping inside the typed λ-calculus with parametric polymorphism. As a consequence of conservativity with respect to higher-order logic (HOL), we can guarantee the consistency of the semantic model.  Moreover,  HOL-OCL provides several derived calculi for UML/OCL that allows for formal derivations establishing the validity of UML/OCL formulae. Automated support for such proofs is also provided.
