What Is Object-Oriented Programming?
The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...
Constraint-Based Object-Oriented Programming
Constraint programming (CP) is a young but rapidly developing technology that supports the modeling and solution of a wide range of planning, scheduling, search, and optimization problems. The integration of CP concepts into languages from other ...

Object-oriented programming provides flexibility in programming and increased maintainability that is typically not available in procedural programming. Object-oriented programs still have a certain amount of inflexibility, however. Methods are explicitly attached to specific classes, which constrains the programmer's ability to evolve and maintain the programs. The authors of this paper have developed an extension to the conventional method of object-oriented programming that overcomes these difficulties. Adaptive object-oriented programming focuses on developing only those classes and methods that are essential to an application, without detailing the class structure. Using adaptive object-oriented programming, programmers focus on families of programs by generalizing the class structure. The authors describe a new type of polymorphism, adaptive polymorphism, in which an adaptive program may be used on different class structures . An adaptive program is developed using a collection of propagation patterns to specify the constraints in the adaptive program. Using an example, the authors illustrate how a customizing class dictionary graph can be used to produce an object-oriented program from the family denoted by the adaptive program. The last part of this paper outlines how adaptive programming fits into the hierarchy of programming languages and postulates that adaptive programming is an improvement of object-oriented programming just as object-oriented programming is an improvement over procedural programming. The paper is well written and provides an interesting introduction to adaptive programming. There is a small error in Figure 6, but it does not detract from the paper. By reading the detailed example and accompanying figures, one can grasp the concepts of adaptive object-oriented programming. If you have been writing object-oriented programs and are interested in what comes next, this paper is certainly for you.
