Abstract

As the requirements for system analysis and design become more complex, the need for a natural, yet formal way of specifying system analysis findings and design decisions are becoming more pressing. We propose the Object-Process Language as a textual natural language means for systems specification that is complementary to the graphic description through Object-Process Diagrams.
