An object-oriented framework is a set of classes that embodies an abstract design for solutions to a family of related prob- lems. The work presented is based on and has its origin in industrial contexts where object-oriented frameworks have been developed, used, evolved and managed. Thus, the results are based on empirical observations. Both qualitative and quanti- tative approaches have been used in the studies performed which cover both tech- nical and managerial aspects of object-oriented framework technology. Historically, object-oriented frameworks are large monolithic assets which require several design iterations and are therefore costly to develop. With the requirement of building larger applications, software engineers have started to compose multiple frameworks, thereby encountering a number of problems.

  • Obstacl: a Language with Objects, Subtyping, and Classes
    OBSTACL: A LANGUAGE WITH OBJECTS, SUBTYPING, AND CLASSES A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Amit Jayant Patel December 2001 c Copyright 2002 by Amit Jayant Patel All Rights Reserved ii I certify that I have read this dissertation and that in my opin- ion it is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. John Mitchell (Principal Adviser) I certify that I have read this dissertation and that in my opin- ion it is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Kathleen Fisher I certify that I have read this dissertation and that in my opin- ion it is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. David Dill Approved for the University Committee on Graduate Studies: iii Abstract Widely used object-oriented programming languages such as C++ and Java support soft- ware engineering practices but do not have a clean theoretical foundation. On the other hand, most research languages with well-developed foundations are not designed to support software engineering practices. This thesis bridges the gap by presenting OBSTACL, an object-oriented extension of ML with a sound theoretical basis and features that lend themselves to efficient implementation. OBSTACL supports modular programming techniques with objects, classes, structural subtyping, and a modular object construction system. OBSTACL's parameterized inheritance mechanism can be used to express both single inheritance and most common uses of multiple inheritance.

  • Object Oriented Languages
    Object oriented languages dr inż. Marcin Pietroń Object oriented programming • Object languages: - Java (business applications, mobile software etc.) - C++ (embedded, real-time, finance- sector) - Python (prototyping, testing) - Smalltalk - Ruby (web) - Objective-C (mobile) - … Object oriented programming • programming paradigm - data structures called "objects", contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. Object oriented programming • a feature of objects is that an object's procedures can access and often modify the data fields of the object with which they are associated, • in OO programming, objects in a software system interact with one another. Object oriented programming • There is significant diversity in object-oriented programming, but most popular languages are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes, which typically also determines their type. Object oriented programming Languages that support object-oriented programming use inheritance for code reuse and extensibility in the form of either classes or prototypes. Those that use classes support two main concepts: • Objects - structures that contain both data and procedures • Classes - definitions for the data format and available procedures for a given type or class of object; may also contain data and procedures (class methods) Object oriented programming • Objects sometimes correspond to things found in the real world (e.g. a graphics program may have objects such as „figure ", "circle ", "square" or " cursor ", online shop may have objects such as "shopping cart" "customer" " basket " or "product ", • Objects can represent more abstract things and entities, like an object that represents an open file, or an object which provides some service (e.g.

  • The Composite Pattern
    The Composite Pattern The Composite Pattern allows you to compose objects into tree structures to represent whole-part hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and composition of objects uniformly. Toni Sellarès Universitat de Girona Composite Pattern: Motivation • A Composite is an object designed as a composition of one-or-more similar objects (components) all exhibiting similar functionality. • The key concept is that you can manipulate a single instance of the object just as you would a group of them. • The Composite pattern is useful in designing a common interface for both individual and composite components so that client programs can view both the individual components and groups of components uniformly. •Use to: – build part-whole hierarchies; – construct data representation of trees; – when you want your clients to ignore the difference between compositions of objects and individual objects. The Composite Pattern Defined The Composite Pattern allows you to compose objects into tree structures to represent whole-part hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and composition of objects uniformly. node 1. We can create arbitrarily complex trees. 2. We can treat them as a whole or as parts 3.

  • Introduction to Design Patterns
    Chapter 1 Introduction • Designing object-oriented software is hard, and designing reusable object-oriented software is even harder. • It takes a long time for novices to learn what good object-oriented design is all about. Experienced designers evidently know something inexperienced ones don't. • Expert designers find recurring patterns of classes and communicating objects in many object-oriented systems, and can apply them immediately to design problems without having to rediscover them. • Recording experience in designing object-oriented software as design patterns. • Design patterns make it easier to reuse successful designs and architectures. What is a Design Pattern? • Christopher Alexander says, "Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice". • Four essential elements of a pattern:: 1. The pattern name is a handle we can use to describe a design problem, its solutions, and consequences in a word or two. 2. The problem describes when to apply the pattern. 3. The solution describes the elements that make up the design, their relationships, responsibilities, and collaborations 4. The consequences are the results and trade-offs of applying the pattern. • The design patterns are descriptions of communicating objects and classes that are customized to solve a general design problem in a particular context. Design Patterns in Smalltalk MVC • Model is the application object • View is the model's screen presentation • Controller defines the way the user interface reacts to user input.
