Anstract:
Objects that play multiple roles in different contexts are called
role objects. Object-Oriented Design (OOD) frameworks are groups of
role objects. These frameworks are increasingly recognised as better 
units of reuse in software development than single-role objects.
Composing OOD frameworks yields role objects. In this paper we discuss 
the implementation of OOD frameworks, in particular their composition, 
in COM.
