Abstract

The dynamic aspects of a system are defined by the combination of the dynamic behaviour of the individual components of the system and the way components interact. In MERODE, these aspects are respectively modelled by means of sequence constraints and the object-event table. This chapter deals with modelling object interaction by means of the object-event table. Sequence constraints are the subject of Chap. 6.
