A framework approach to inheritance

Abstract:

In prototype based languages, "higher-order" methods (i.e.
prototype-valued methods) can be used to define an inheritance
structure with a finer grain than usually found in class-based
languages (modular inheritance). Moreover, building blocks for
frameworks (such as overriding, abstract methods, ...) can be applied
to structure inheritance in such a system. This idea is explored in the
seminar as follows: first modular inheritance is defined in the context
of a very simple object model. This model is used to show how modular
inheritance actually operates. Next, a number of experiments show how
it can be given a framework-like structure.  Finally, the impact from
this property of modular inheritance on more conventional systems is
assessed.
