Abstract
There have been several proposals for Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming Systems (COOPS) [Agha, Wegner and Yonezawa 89]. Unfortunately, most of these proposals are not powerful enough to be used outside the laboratory, that is, they are not industrial strength.

OOPSLA/ECOOP '90: Proceedings of the workshop on Object-based concurrent programmingThere have been several proposals for Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming Systems (COOPS) [Agha, Wegner and Yonezawa 89].

Concurrent object-oriented programming in Classic-Ada
Although Ada supports concurrency and can thus be used as a concurrent programming language, it is not generally considered to be an object-oriented programming language. Classic-Ada is a preprocessor which adds the concepts of classes, inheritance, and ...
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-...
