The design space of object-based languages is characterized in terms of objects, classes, inheritance, data abstraction, strong typing, concurrency, and persistence. Language classes (paradigms) associated with interesting subsets of these features are identified and language design issues for selected paradigms are examined. Orthogonal dimensions that span the object-oriented design space are ...

The removal of inconsistencies from the problem’s representation, which has been emphasized as a means of improving the performance of backhacking algorithms in solving constraint satisfaction problems, increases the amount of redundancy in the problem. In this paper we argue that some solution methods might actually benefit from using an opposing strategy, namely, the removal of redundancies f...
