Abstract Complex applications based on parallelism, cooperation, synchronization and distribution are quite difficult to be designed, developed, and maintained. A potential effective solution is the active objects model. The Active Objects Model (AOM) has been developed and experimented in order to provide to software development the visual programming techniques. This paper concerns on the appropriate set of programming control structures that support the visually manipulated techniques to develop complex software functionalities and interactions.
