Object-oriented programming techniques have been used with great success for some time. But the techniques of object-oriented programming have been largely confined to the single address space, and have not been applicable to distributed systems. Recent advances in language technology have allowed a change in the way distributed systems are constructed that does allow real object-oriented progr...

Integrating concurrent and object-oriented programming has been an active research topic since the late 1980s. The majority of approaches have taken a sequential object-oriented language and made it concurrent. A few approaches have taken a concurrent language and made it object-oriented. The most important of this latter class is the Ada 95 language which is an extension to the object-based co...

Gaea[NNHF] is an instance of organic programming methodology, as Smalltalk is of object oriented programming. In the case of object oriented programming, there are combinations with procedural language (Smalltalk, C++), functional programming (LOOPS), and logic programming (ESP[Chi83]). The same variety of combinations are possible in organic programming. Gaea is a logic programming language.

Object-oriented modelling with words seeks to extend the new field of modelling with words, itself derived form computing with words, with features of object-oriented knowledge representation and programming. We show that object-oriented modelling with words has two key benefits; firstly the uncertain class hierarchy provides a natural knowledge representation framework for real-world problems,...

in recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool forperformance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. in the viewpoints of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficultiesin using formal methods. in this paper, we introduce a new formal modelinglanguage to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (oopls)used by...

The object oriented paradigm, which advocates bottom-up program development, appears at rst sight to run counter to the classical, top-down approach of structured programming. The deep requirement of structured programming, however, is that programming should be based on well-de ned abstractions with clear meaning rather than on incidental characteristics of computing machinery. This requiremen...

My guess is that object-oriented programming will be in the 1980s what structured programming was in the 1970s. Everyone will be in favor of it. Every manufacturer will promote his products as supporting it. Every manager will pay lip service to it. Every programmer will practice it (differently). And no one will know just what it is. Tim Rentsch in [Ren82] In this chapter we explore essential ...

This paper describes an approach to providing object persistence in object-oriented programming languages without modifying the run-time system or the language itself. By successively applying design patterns such as the Serializer, Factory Method, and Strategy patterns we develop an object-oriented framework for providing object persistence. The advantages of object-orientation are highlighted...
