There is little that is new in object-oriented software development. Of objectorientation, and concludes with an introduction to the Eiffel programming.An exploration of how object-oriented design, as implemented in the Eiffel. Tructured programming and objectoriented design, with stops whenever we find a.Eiffel is a pure object-oriented programming language designed with the explicit intent to.

This paper reviews some programming techniques in R that have proved useful, particularly for substantial projects. These include several versions of object-oriented programming, used in a large number of R packages. The review tries to clarify the origins and ideas behind the various versions, each of which is valuable in the appropriate context. R has also been strongly influenced by the idea...

Teaching introductory object-oriented programming is considered difficult. We have developed a model-driven object-first approach with strong focus on systematic techniques and explicit exposure of the programming process. It is our experience that this is a very effective approach: the students learn object-oriented programming as well as fundamental software engineering techniques, and the dr...

SINA is an object-oriented language for distributed and concurrent programming. The primary focus of this paper is on the object-oriented concurrent programming mechanisms of SINA and their implementation. This paper presents the SINA constructs for concurrent programming and inter-object communication, some illustrative examples and a message-based implementation model for SINA that we have us...

This paper describes experiences from a three-day course held as part of a collaborative research project, in which object-oriented programming was taught to a group of engineers who were all proficient C programmers. Our approach to teaching object-oriented programming focuses on conceptual modeling, emphasizing that object-orientation is not a bag of solutions and technology; rather, object-o...

Object-Oriented technology is gaining rapid acceptance among software developers, and is becoming the preferred choice for modern computer programming projects. Should a natural scientist care? We discuss some of the main concepts in object-oriented programming and the potential of this interesting technology. The object model views the world as made of many objects interacting (exchanging mess...

Fibonacci is a strongly typed, object-oricntcd database programming language with a new mechanism to model objects with roles. Traditional object-oriented programming languages do not have the possibility of changing dynamically the type of an object to model the bchaviour of real world entities which change their status over time. This is a severe limitation in the context of a database progra...

Object-oriented programming has become a widely used, important programming paradigm that is supported in many different languages. C++ has become the most widely used object-oriented language and many C++ programmers are unfamiliar with the different approaches taken by other languages in the paradigm. This paper is intended as an introduction to a broad range of ideas in object-oriented progr...

The aspect-oriented programming approach is supposed to enhance a system’s features, such as its modularity, readability and simplicity. Due to a better modularization of crosscutting concerns, the developed system implementation would be less complex, and more readable. Thus software development efficiency would increase, so the system would be created faster than its object-oriented equivalen...

For the right application, the use of programming paradigms such as functional or logic programming can enormously increase productivity in software development. But powerful paradigms may come with exotic programming languages, while the management of software development dictates language standardization. This dilemma can be resolved by using component technology at the system design level. H...
