Abstract:
Attempts to use the basic features of object-oriented programming for mastering the complexity of very large software systems and building integrated suites of applications have demonstrated that more abstract and flexible inheritance and classification mechanisms are needed than those provided by existing object-oriented methodologies. In this paper the ClassCombiner concept is proposed which provides language support for inheritance at a higher abstraction level. It is built on top of the typical class-based inheritance mechanisms and explicitly models the semantics of inheritance as a composition mechanism in object-oriented terms. Since it is placed between objects and their definition parts, the ClassCombiner proposal supports evolving objects, which together with the highly orthogonal design of its constituents supplies a framework for introducing subjectivity in class-based object-oriented systems. 1
