Much research has been conducted to describe metrics for UML models by extending OCL that was proposed to define structural constraints. However, metrics descriptions in OCL are complex, so they are very difficult to understand. This paper defines MDL4UML by abstracting the conventional OCL. By abstracting OCL constructs, the MDL4UML can produce simpler descriptions of metrics, which can help metrics designer to understand and describe metrics.

Both Optimization and Reuse Technology are considered as core technologies handling the values of products in embedded software. Framework technology is a typical type of optimization and reuse technology. When we develop software based on framework, The effect of reusability as well as development productivity can be improved. However, currently the form of framework-based development is very poor in embedded software development. Furthermore, because framework development is also beginning stage in embedded software development, there are questions whether developing framework can bring reusability effect. In this paper, we propose metrics measuring reusability of framework which is designed for improving reusability of embedded software. As as result of applying proposed metrics into real design cases, we can obtain more effective results in framework-based design than existing design.
