In order to eliminate some of the drawbacks when using an object-oriented model to represent control systems, this paper describes an approach which extends the conventional object-oriented model by explicitly representing cooperations between objects. When using a cooperative object-oriented style for describing the software architecture of a control system, cooperations can be used to represent the control algorithms while objects are used to represent the components of the control system. The software architecture of the control system can then be implemented in terms of a design pattern which is able to encapsulate interations between objects. The feasibility of the whole approach will be demonstrated in terms of the cruise control system benchmak case study.
