N2  - A high level of detail and well-formedness of models have become crucial ingredients in model-driven development. Constraints play a central role in model precision and validity. However, the task of constraint development is time-consuming and error-prone because constraints can be arbitrarily complex in real-world models.To overcome this problem, we propose a solution that we call model-driven constraint engineering. In our solution, we define constraint patterns, add structure and develop a taxonomy for them. The constraint patterns integrate into the UML meta-model. These computation-independent, parameterized patterns are transformed into platform-independent constraints by a model transformation. In addition, we show how our approach can be supported by a tool.
