I once read an article that divided languages in object based (as actors languages) class based object oriented (class+inheritance). It is an old article, even this classification is not used since there are various kinds of languages now, but I need it. Probably edited in one conference. Any of you have the reference on this article? I should refer to it in a paper but I am 9000 Km from my files. Thanks, Geraldo Xexeo

I agree with you that this classification does not seem very relevant, at least not as _the_ classification of OO languages; but relatively many authors still refer to it. Peter Wegner has later written a truly "wide-spectrum", wide-view article entitled "Concepts and Paradigms of Object-Oriented Programming"; it fills practically the whole first issue of ACM's OOPS Messenger (August 1990). I was surprised that he still upheld that classification somewhere in the new paper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "All similarities with real persons and events are purely accidental." official disclaimer of news agency New China Markku Sakkinen (sakkinen@jytko.jyu.fi) SAKKINEN@FINJYU.bitnet (alternative network address) Department of Computer Science and Information Systems University of Jyvaskyla (a's with umlauts) PL 35 SF-40351 Jyvaskyla (umlauts again) Finland ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The paper you are looking for is probably "Dimensions of Object-Based Language Design" by Peter Wegner. You can find it in the OOPSLA '87 Proceedings page 168-182. --Bjarne Steensgaard (rusa@diku.dk)
