A particular interest of mine is programming paradigms. For example, how does object-oriented programming differ from logic programming from functional programming from procedural programming from ... I recently came across a paper with a brief discussion of access-oriented programming which is a new paradigm to me. Unfortunately, I didn't very much out of the description as the context of the article was comparison of paradigms and really assumed familiarity. Can anyone supply me with pointers to readable introductions to access-oriented programming? How about articles or books on programming paradigms in general? Reply by mail and I will summarize results if there is enough interest. (The article I referred to was "If Prolog is the Answer, What is the Question? or What it Takes to Support AI Programming Paradigms" by Daniel G. Bobrow in IEEE Trans. of Soft. Eng., Nov. 1985. I recommend the article.) Joe Sloan, Box 3090 Duke University Medical Center Durham, NC 27710 (919) 684-3754 duke!jds,
