Model transformation means converting an input model available at the beginning of process to output model. A widely used approach uses graph rewriting as underlying technique. In case diagrammatic languages, such Unified Modeling Language (UML), exclusive topological matching is found be not enough. To define precisely steps beyond topology visual models, additional constraints must specified which ensures correctness attributes, or other properties enforced. Dealing with OCL provides a solution for these unsolved issues, because and attribute methods cannot perform express problems can addressed by constraint validation. The use query language in modeling essential. We have shown that it applied transformations well. Often, same repetitiously many different places transformation. It would beneficial describe common modular manner, designate where applied. This paper presents problem crosscutting rules, aspect-oriented it. Our makes possible separately from steps, facilitates specifying their propagation assignment rules. illustrate conceptual results, study also provided, introduces (i) how our generates user interface handler source code mobile platform resource statechart diagram, (ii) validates specific during using constraints.
