From Functions to Object-Orientation by Abstraction

TL;DR

This paper presents a framework that elevates computational models to support concurrent execution of functions and objects, demonstrating that object execution aligns with core object-oriented principles.

Contribution

It introduces a higher-level abstraction framework for function and object execution that supports concurrency and confirms the alignment of object execution with object-oriented fundamentals.

Findings

Object execution models comply with object-oriented principles

Framework supports concurrent execution of functions and objects

Higher-level abstractions enable more flexible computational models

Abstract

In previous work we developed a framework of computational models for function and object execution. The models on an higher level of abstraction in this framework allow for concurrent execution of functions and objects. We show that the computational model for object execution complies with the fundamentals of object-orientation.
