[mod.ai] OOP in AI

Stern.pasa@XEROX.COM (12/04/86)

The responses to my question of a few weeks ago, regarding publications
discussing OOP and AI:

Xerox PARC work in OOP has a long history, with a flurry of publishing
recently including AI Mag Spring 1976 for "Object-oriented Programming:
Themes and Variations" and Science, 28 Feb, Vol 231 "Perspectives on AI
Programming", both by D. Bobrow and M. Stefik.  Other responses referred
me to our (note - I work for Xerox) LOOPS knowledge programming system.

Some responses referred me to KEE, ART (?) and Flavors.  A couple of
people described their own work in progress on OOP languages or systems.

I had completely missed the SIGPlan issue (V21, #10, Oct 86) on the OOP
Workshop at IBM Watson Research Center organized by them and Peter
Wegner of Brown University, who includes his own excellent paper in the
proceedings.
