Abstract

We apply ASP to model validation in a CASE setting, where models are UML class diagrams and object diagrams are called “snapshots”. We present the design and implementation of MSG, a snapshot generator for UML models that employs DLV-Complex as a generator engine, the answer sets representing the legal snapshots.
