Chapter 9 Working with Object-Oriented Models

The following properties are imported into the new OOM:

Class	Class, or interface
Multiple instances	Multiple

In a Rose model...	Becomes in an OOM

An association can be between two classes, or between a class and an interface to be imported.

Synchronization.

The following table maps message stereotypes in Rose and the corresponding control flow types in PowerDesigner:

Rose Synchronization	PowerDesigner Control Flow type
Simple	Undefined
Synchronous	Procedure call
Asynchronous	Asynchronous
Balking	Imported as a message condition
Time out	Not imported

Balking: the client passes the message only if the supplier is immediately ready to accept the message: it is imported as a message condition.
Timeout: if the message is not acknowledged within a timeout, the message is abandoned: this property is not imported.
