Analogical reuse of structural and behavioural aspects of event-based object-oriented domain models

The focus is on the reuse of event-based, object-oriented domain models. The paper presents a generic domain model for domain abstraction, object allocation, and shows how this model can be reused in analogous domains such as hotel administration, a car rental company, and a library. Both the reuse of structural and behavioural aspects is investigated. In particular the paper addresses the reuse of the participation of domain objects in real-world events and the reuse of object life-cycle specifications.
