Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for providing a methodology and notation which enables an explicit distinction between those features of an object-oriented object model that are intended to be easily changed due to changing business needs, from those features which are fundamental to the object models. The methodology does this during the modeling process by capturing decisions to allow for business-driven variability as explicit diagram annotations called Control Points. The business variable portions of the system of interacting objects are simultaneously captured as objects called Business Rules.
