  abstract = {Designers can easily become overwhelmed with details when dealing
	with large class diagrams. This article presents an approach for
	automated abstraction that allows designers to yoom out	on class diagrams to investigate and reason about their bigger picture.
	The approach is based on a large number of abstraction rules that
	individually are not very powerful, but when used together, can abstract
	complex class structures quickly. This article presents those abstraction
	rules and an algorithm for applying them. The technique was validated
	on over a dozen models where it was shown to be well suited for model
	understanding, consistency checking, and reverse engineering.},
