The power of aspect-oriented modelling is that structural and behavioural properties of a crosscutting concern can be modularized within an aspect model. With proper care, such an aspect model can also be made reusable. If the functionality provided by such a modularized concern is needed repeatedly within a system, the reusable aspect model can be applied multiple times within the same target model. This paper reviews the pending issues related to multiple aspect model instantiations identified in past research, and then proposes to extend the customization interface of aspect models with instantiation cardinalities. This removes potential customization ambiguities for the model user, and gives the model designer fine-grained control about how many instances of each structural and behavioural element contained in an aspect model are to be created in the target model. The approach is illustrated by presenting the aspect-oriented design of a behavioural, a structural and a creational design pattern.
