Deciding on how to evaluate each students programming skills is one of the largest challenges facing educators who teach object-oriented courses. Traditional assessment of programming education is with Grade. Quite often students get good grades in programming but still facing great challenges or have difficulties to take on real programming jobs. This research focus on how we addressed this ch...

Object−oriented programming hasn't created a viable software component industry. From a technical perspective, the reason for this failure lies in an insufficient consideration of the unique requirements of component software. Object−oriented programming too often concentrates on individual objects, instead of whole collections of objects, i.e., components. Component−oriented programming requir...

Computing was originally dominated by desktop and hence dataoriented systems. However, embedded and hence time-oriented systems, which must measure input events or generate output events of specified time durations, or must execute at regular time intervals, are increasingly commonplace. Blinking a light on and off for 1 second represents a “Hello World” example of a time-oriented system. Time-...

Gaea[NNHF] is an instance of organic programming methodology, as Smalltalk is of object oriented programming. In the case of object oriented programming, there are combinations with procedural language (Smalltalk, C++), functional programming (LOOPS), and logic programming (ESP[Chi83]). The same variety of combinations are possible in organic programming. Gaea is a logic programming language.

Design patterns are widely used in object-oriented design. The application of design patterns in programming, however, is usually based on manual implementation in an ordinary object-oriented programming language resulting in problems like the lack of encapsulation, traceability and reusability of the patterns. We present a design pattern oriented programming model as an extension of the object...
