The Consistency Workbench: A Tool for Consistency Management in UML-Based Development

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2863))

Abstract

With the Unified Modeling Language becoming applied in diverse contexts, the ability of defining and checking customized consistency conditions is gaining increasing importance. In this paper, we introduce the Consistency Workbench for defining and establishing consistency in a UML-based development process.
