Compare and contrast structural and static modeling
What will be an ideal response?
It is easy to confuse "structural" with "static." After all, this book discusses "behavioral" and "dynamic" modeling, so "static" modeling should not be a far-fetched conclusion. But whether "static" modeling is meaningful or not, structural modeling is not static: it models not only the building blocks of an entity, but also the relationships among them. And in a system, closed or open, software or otherwise, relationships are never static.
