Abstract :
A specification language based on an object-oriented conceptual model is presented. Interval temporal logic, a variation of modal logic that provides mechanisms for specifying time-varying properties of systems, is used in the language as the underlying formalism for representing behavioral constraints on the objects. The mechanism used for the interpretation and satisfaction of the constraints is discussed
