A general model of software architecture design derived from five industrial approaches
Christine Hofmeister,Philippe Kruchten,Robert L. Nord,Henk Obbink,Alexander Ran,Pierre America +5 more
TL;DR: The five industrial software architecture design methods are compared and it is found that the five approaches have a lot in common and match more or less the ''ideal'' pattern that can be used for further method comparisons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solving reflexive domain equations in a category of complete metric spaces
Pierre America,Jan Rutten +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a technique by which solutions to reflexive domain equations can be found in a certain category of complete metric spaces, and shows that for a large class of functors, including function space constructions, these conditions are satisfied, so that they are guaranteed to have a unique fixed point.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A parallel object-oriented language with inheritance and subtyping
TL;DR: This paper shows that inheritance and subtyping can be introduced advantageously into a parallel object-oriented language, POOL-I, and several problems traditionally adhering to inheritance can be solved.
Book ChapterDOI
Designing an Object-Oriented Programming Language with Behavioural Subtyping
TL;DR: POOL-I as mentioned in this paper is a parallel object-oriented programming language that includes subtyping and inheritance as completely separate language mechanisms, by decoupling these two mechanisms, which have been strongly tied together in other statically typed languages with inheritance, a much cleaner language design can be obtained.
Book ChapterDOI
Inheritance and Subtyping in a Parallel Object-Oriented Language
TL;DR: It is concluded that inheritance and subtyping are two different concepts, which should not be confused in any object-oriented language (be it parallel or sequential).
