Many relations between model elements are expressed in OCL. However, tool support to enable synchronization of elements based on OCL-expressed relations is lacking. In this paper, we propose to use active operations in order to achieve incremental execution of some OCL expressions. Moreover, bidirectionality can also be achieved in non-trivial
