Abstract
Role modeling addresses software specification, analysis, and design. Many role models are documented patterns, and they do have corresponding object oriented designs. However, a design and implementation that is solely class or component based has its problems and limitations. Role model implementations become unwieldy and difficult to manage, control, and debug when they are distributed across many components that are instances of different classes. Higher level, alternative, language constructs are needed.
