The problem of complex multi-component system processing arises in many fields of science and engineering. A system can be described in terms of its components, behavior, and interaction. This work proposes a new declarative Turing complete “model-oriented” programming paradigm based on the concept of “model-component” - a complex structure with well-defined characteristics and behavior, and no external methods. The set of model-components is closed under the union operation of model-components into “model-complex”. The proposed approach allows the program to describe the complex system and behavior of its components in a declarative way, possesses a higher level of encapsulation than the object-oriented paradigm, involves a reduced amount of imperative programming, and is naturally focused on parallel computations.
The paper offers a new programming paradigm, which implements CAD methods in programming, The level of encapsulation in model-oriented programming is higher than in the object-oriented approach. The key features of the MO-programming are declarative style (no imperative programs), and focusing on the distributed and high-performance calculations. The method proposed is based on the structural theory of multi-component complex systems, and is applicable for a rather wide class of tasks including the elaboration of simulation models of such systems.
