Formal analysis of object-oriented mograms

Abstract

A mogram designates a software language implemented in either a programming or a modelling language. Object-Oriented mograms share many common language features, but also have specificities related to inheritance, collection values, opposite and contained references, or overloading. We propose a mathematical framework that captures the semantics of such mograms with a precise characterisation of the variation points. We implemented a prototype tool that enables formal analysis in a uniform way.
