description

We propose to build an engineering environment for information systems by using metamodels, OCL and symbolic model checkers to manage  constraints. Our proposal is based on a definition of constraints as 3D spaces with  dimensions corresponding to UML diagrams, constructs, and abstraction levels. We show how such environments can help with engineering quality complex systems by allowing to lift up a part of constraint verifications.
