Abstract. In this paper we briefly present some solution strategies for situations in which it is necessary to transform multiple inheritance schemes into single inheritance or non-inheritance “equivalent ” schemes. The strategies are divided into basic strategies and combined strategies. The mechanisms presented are comparatively analyzed in the light of some ideal characteristics to be accomplished by hierarchy transformation strategies. 1
