Object Action Language Reference Manual
White Paper
ABSTRACT
The Object Action Language is written to satisfy the following goals:
- Readability - Modelers must be able to easily understand the OAL for development and reviews
- Derivation - Event generation and data access information is captured for derivation of the Object Collaboration Diagrams and Package Dependency Diagrams for both asynchronous (event) and synchronous (data access) communication
- Simulation - The UML models can be simulated through interpretation of the actions
- Translation - Richness of expression is provided while maintaining a specification that can be automatically translated on a target architecture
