Abstract

The graphical notation Objectcharts, introduced in this paper, allows a developer to precisely specify the behaviour of object classes and to reason about the behaviour of particular configurations of objects.Objectcharts combine object oriented analysis and design techniques and Harel's statecharts to give a diagrammatic specification technique for object oriented systems.
