In this paper an integrated modelling approach for object-oriented systems is proposed. The integrated language consists of three layers. On the first layer UML class diagrams are used to define the structure of the modelled systems and OCL expressions specify queries, which do not modify the object configuration. On the second layer transformation rules model local state modifications of the system. On the third layer Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams describe complex control flows built over the rules and queries on the lower layers. The proposed integrated language is evaluated by a running example on modelling doubly linked lists and the mergesort algorithm
