ObjChart is a new visual formalism to specify objects and their reactive behavior. A system is specified as a collection of asynchronously communicating objects arranged in a part-of hierarchy, where the reactive behavior of each object is described by a finite state machine. Value propagation is effected using functional invariants over attributes of objects. A compositional semantics for concurrent object behavior is sketched using the equational framework of Misra.In contrast to other Object Oriented modeling notations, ObjChart uses object decomposition as the single refinement paradigm, maintains orthogonality between control flow and value propagation, introduces Sequence object which embodies structural induction, and allows tracing causality chains in time linear in the size of the system. ObjChart's minimality of notations and precise semantics make ObjChart models of systems coherent and executable.
