Object-Oriented Hierarchies and Their Resulting Complex Systems

  • Conference paper

  • 56 Accesses

Abstract

Information Systems can be considered complex in a great many ways. This paper focus on the hierarchical structures used in Object-Oriented Modelling and MetaModelling. Models are described as emerging structures within aggregation and generalization hierarchies, and acquiring the characteristics of a complex system is imputed to the role of (free) associations whose semantics is exogenous to those hierarchies.
