Object interfaces

Objects provide interfaces and require interfaces. The provided interfaces are the signals (events and triggered operations) and services (functions) for the object. The required interfaces are realized through a set of associations and dependencies to other objects through which the object collaborates with the other objects.

The following figure shows the object model diagram from the home heating system ("hhs") sample. It shows the provided interfaces of two objects:

In addition, it shows the required interfaces of the two objects through the symmetric association drawn between them.
