One way to guarantee software quality is to have a formal specification of the application that we are going to develop. Besides it is convenient to dispose of a design methodology that makes use of the system structure to describe the system model.

We try to combine formal aspects and OO concepts, in order to obtain a formal OO specification methodology. 1 Introduction A natural way to understand a system is considering it as a set of coope- rating objects working to reach a common goal.
