Abstract. Category Theory is introduced as the mathematical model for object-oriented systems which are distributed, heterogeneous, real-time, embedded, and open-ended. Each object...
The formal description of the semantics of object-oriented data models is still an open problem. Some characteristic features of object-oriented data models, such as methods and i...
This work aims to extend the algebraical approach to graph transformation to model object-oriented systems structures and computations. A graph grammar based formal framework for o...
Object-Gofer is a small, practical extension of the functional programming language Gofer incorporating the following ideas from the object-oriented community: objects and toplevel...
We propose a framework for component-based modeling of distributed systems. It provides separation of concerns between computation (in object oriented components), coordination (vi...
