چکیده

We develop a formal, type-theoretic account of the basic mechanisms of object-oriented programming: encapsulation, message passing, subtyping, and inheritance. By modeling object encapsulation in terms of existential types instead of the recursive records used in other recent studies, we obtain a substantial simpliication both in the model of objects and in the underlying typed-calculus.

Dialgebraic Semantics of Typed Object Calculi

Algebraic data type theory has a notion of structural recursion. Coalgebraic data types similarly have a notion of structural corecursion. In this thesis we study a third form of recursion: direcursion. The other two notions have been used in program derivations, correctness proofs, and in foundations of functional and class-based languages. Direcursion, on the other hand, has not been extensiv...

Interaction - Oriented Programming

This dissertation describes the design and implementation of a general-purpose object-oriented (OO) programming language, Classages. The novel object model of Classages gives programmers refined control over modeling the interactions inside OO software, with inspirations drawn from human sociology. Key innovations include the language constructs of Mixers and Connectors as encapsulation-enforce...

A Unifying Type-Theoretic Framework for Objects

We give a direct type-theoretic characterization of the basic mechanisms of object-oriented programming, including objects, methods, message passing, and subtyping, by introducing an explicit constructor for object types and suitable introduction, elimination, and equality rules. The resulting abstract framework provides a basis for justifying and comparing previous encodings of objects based o...

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

Chapter 4 Regular Types for Active Objects *

Previous work on type-theoretic foundations for object-oriented programming languages has mostly focused on applying or extending functional type theory to functional “objects.” This approach, while benefiting from a vast body of existing literature, has the disadvantage of dealing with state change either in a roundabout way or not at all, and completely sidestepping issues of concurrency. In ...
