Abstract
An aspect-oriented design model consists of a set of aspect models and a primary model. Each of these models consists of a number of different kinds of UML diagrams. The models must be composed to identify conflicts and analyze the system as a whole. We have developed a systematic approach for composing class diagrams in which a default composition procedure based on name matching can be customized by user-defined composition directives. This paper describes a set of composition directives that constrain how class diagrams are composed.
