Research directions in object-oriented programming

摘要: Once a radical notion, object-oriented programming is one of today's most active research areas. It especially well suited to the design very large software projects involving many programmers all working on same project. The original contributions in this book will provide researchers and students languages, databases, semantics with complete survey field available. Broad scope deep its examination substantive issues, focuses major topics models computation, mathematical models, environments.The languages include Beta, Scandinavian successor Simula (a chapter by Bent Kristensen, whose group has had longest experience programming, reveals how that shaped group's vision today); CommonObjects, Lisp-based language abstraction; Actors, low-level for concurrent modularity; Vulcan, Prolog-based language.New computational inheritance, composite objects, block-structure layered systems, classification are covered, theoretical papers functional specification included section models.The three chapters databases (including David Maier's "Development Implementation an Object-Oriented Database Management System," which spans database worlds integrating procedural representational capability requirements multi-user persistent storage) two environments representative sample good these important areas.Bruce Shriver researcher at IBM's Thomas J.
