Hello, I am new in papyrus modelling. I am wondering how to do aspect-oriented modelling in papyrus state machine. I have some state machine. where each state has it's own state invariant. Apart from this, there is a number of constraints that act as state invariant in multiple states. So, adding all of those constraints as state invariant in each of those states would make the state machine more complex and messy. Probably, aspect-oriented modelling is a better option in this scenario. So, a single constraint can be added to the state invariant of states of the same aspect. i.e., the complete state invariant of a state would be its own state invariant and the constraint from the aspect.
Is this possible in papyrus? Any idea how to do this? Any suggestion? Thank you.

Hi

If you have many constraints, UML tools are not that helpful.

You are probably better to structure as:
- a structural UML state machine
- a Complete OCL document for each aspect

This should allow you to read/edit all the text for an aspect in a
single window without the compromises of UML Constraint widgets. (Having
to use both *.uml and *.ocl source files is inconvenient, but if you
want aspects, it is perhaps more convenient.)

Alternatively you could use Package merge so that you use a separate
merged state machine diagram for each aspect. (I'm not certain that the
Package merge tooling works for states.)

Regards

Ed Willink
