Abstract :
We use the analogy between composite objects and complex systems to assess the suitability of object-oriented methodologies for the specification of complex systems. Experience with existing methodologies leads to the proposal of a new approach to the description of composite objects. In addition, we also explore issues related to the specification of complex systems such as the role of the specifier, the kinds of formal specifications, etc
