Using Problem Frames with Distributed Architectures: A Case for Cardinality on Interfaces

Certain classes of problems amenable to description using Problem Frames, in particular ones intended to be implemented using a distributed architecture, can benefit by the addition of a cardinality specification on the domain interfaces. This paper presents an example of such a problem, demonstrates the need for relationship cardinality, and proposes a notation to represent cardinality on domain interfaces.
