<p>IST 311 Modeling Association Relationships: COMPANY data model V. Matos – Spring 2005</p><p>The following fragment of a COMPANY diagram depicts the EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT classes.  The EMPLOYEE class holds the name and Social Security Number of each employee, together with a reference to his/her Department.  Each DEPARTMENT has a name, and a reference to its manager. In addition each department has a list of the employees working for the unit (the variable ListOfEmployees is an ArrayList, each entry is an EMPLOYEE reference).  The association Manages indicates that an employee could act as the manager of at most one department. Each department must have an manager.  A department could have many employees; bit an employee is part of only one department.</p><p>The portion of the diagram illustrating those facts is given below</p><p>The following is a VB.NET implementation of the two classes and their two associations.</p><p>Public Class Employee Private Name As String Private Salary As Double Private Dno As Department</p><p>Public Sub SetName(ByVal aName As String) 'data validation goes here....

Only the Works_For association has been implemented. The Manages association must be completed. 2. Consider adding two additional summary classes ALL_EMPLOYEES, and ALL_DEPARTMENTS. Each time the constructor of EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT objects is called, a reference to the newly created object is appropriately added to the corresponding summary class.</p><p>V. Matos IST311.
