Abstract

The use of object-oriented conceptual models for modeling office applications and information systems is discussed. A model for describing object behavior based on the concept of role is presented. Roles allow one to describe different perspectives for object evolution. For each role, relevant characteristics such as role properties, role states, messages, and role-state transition rules and constraints are defined. The implications of considering several roles in parallel for an object are discussed, and a classification of possible role interactions is given.

The interplay between relationships, roles and objects
FSEN'09: Proceedings of the Third IPM international conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering

In this paper we study the interconnection between relationships and roles. We start from the patterns used to introduce relationships in object oriented languages, and we show how the role model proposed in powerJava can be used to define roles. In ...
Objects and Roles in the Stack-Based Approach
DEXA '02: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications

In the paper we propose a new approach to the concept of dynamic object roles. The approach assumes, among others, that: a role is a distinguished subobject for an object; a role dynamically inherits attributes' values and methods of its parent object; ...
