Abstract
This paper presents Reconciliation+, a tool-supported method which identifies overlaps between models of different object interactions expressed as UML sequence and/or collaboration diagrams, checks whether the overlapping messages of these models satisfy specific consistency rules, and guides developers in handling any inconsistencies detected.
