Abstract :
Modelling with objects at a concrete level is attractive as a supplement to modelling with classes. The former is known as dynamic modelling and the latter as static modelling. The paper considers a language for describing dynamic models. The language is defined at an abstract level, thus allowing one to concentrate on the underlying conceptual issues rather than more superficial ones such as diagrammatic notations. The dynamic modelling is supported by a set of tools called DYNAMO. The author concentrates mainly on the concepts of the abstract modelling language, but also touches on the DYNAMO tools
