We present a novel programming language based on the concept of constrained objects for compositional and declarative modeling of engineering structures. A constrained object is an object whose internal state is governed by a set of (declarative) constraints. When several constrained objects are aggregated to form a complex object, their internal states might further have to satisfy interface constraints. The resultant behavior of the complex object is obtained by logical inference and constraint satisfaction. Our modeling paradigm supports constraints, including quantified and conditional constraints, as well as preferences. We show that, for the domain of engineering modeling, the paradigm of constrained objects is superior to both a pure object-oriented language as well as a pure constraint language. Our current prototype includes tools for authoring constrained-object class diagrams; a compiler that translates class diagrams to CLP(R) code; and domain-specific visual interfaces for building and testing constrained objects.
