Description
Most popular object-oriented modeling techniques (OOMTs) provide good support for the creation of conceptual models of system behavior and structure. A serious drawback of these techniques is that the concepts and notations used are not rigorously defined. This can lead to the creation of ambiguous models, and to disagreements over the proper use and interpretation of modeling constructs. An important modeling construct that is often loosely defined is aggregation. This thesis presents a precise characterization of aggregation that can help developers identify appropriate applications of the concept. Our characterization is the result of careful analysis of literature on conceptual modeling, knowledge representation and object-oriented (OO) modeling. We discuss primary and secondary properties of aggregation and propose annotations for UML (Unified Modeling Language). An extensive discussion of the more useful patterns of aggregation helps developers pick a suitable prescription of aggregation.
