Keywords: object-oriented approach, static and dynamic descriptions, validation, dss, cdm, atm systems

In this paper we emphasize how a computer science technology, namely the Object-Oriented approach, is able to help modeling and (in)validating large and complex systems such as ATM systems, airport ATC. We exhibit a small example extracted from a current large project conducted at ONERA. Finally we will show how our models are a firm basis from which fast prototypes can be easily derived.
