Abstract

How to achieve the state modeling through inheritance has been considered as an important issue in object-oriented modeling. In this paper, an approach called Focus of Attention is proposed to make the state modeling easier by constructing state representations of a class from those of its parent. Facets impacting the state modeling are called FOA facets, which are used as a guideline to modify an inherited state model. Various specialization techniques are discussed, which help better understand the relationship between the state model of a superclass and its subclass.
