  abstract  = {Models provide an alternative perspective for the understanding of
	a software system. However, models reflect the state of the system
	at the time of their creation (or last updating) but they do not
	reflect intermediate changes during the system's evolution. Depicting
	perspectives without showing changes is like watching a movie through
	a small set of still pictures (i.e., no motion). This paper demonstrates
	this problem on an existing technique for the automated simplification
	(abstraction) of class diagrams. We will show that it is computationally
	feasible to maintain a set of abstract perspectives of a class structure
	such that evolutionary changes to the class structure are instantly
	perceived through its perspectives. For developers, this provides
	the ability to understand changes to systems from the modeling perspectives
	they care about. It also gives the developers the confidence that
	their modeling perspectives remain up-to-date with the system even
	while the system evolves.},
