Abstract
An association between two classes implies some interaction between objects of the two classes. An association is often adorned with multiplicities and other constraints. In this paper, such adornments are considered as constraints upon the behaviour of objects of the associated classes, and checking that they satisfy these constraints is a consistency problem that can be addressed by formal means. Two formal approaches to this consistency problem, namely the state-based and behavioural approaches, are reviewed and discussed.
