This paper describes work carried out on a model for the evolution of graph
classes in complex objects. By defining evolution rules and propagation
strategies on graph classes, we aim to define a user-definable means to manage
data evolution model which tackles the complex nature of the classes managed,
using the concepts defined in object systems. So, depending on their needs and
on those of the targeted application, designers can choose the evolution
mechanism they consider to suit them best. They can either create new
evolutions or reuse predefined ones to respond to a given need
