Intent The Object System Pattern (1998)
Classical object oriented systems require every object to be an instance of a class, and all classes to be written before the program is deployed. Some programs need exible, con gurable, dynamically...
Flexible alias protection (1998)
Aliasing is endemic in object oriented programming. Because an object can be modified via any alias, object oriented programs are hard to understand, maintain, and analyse. Flexible alias protection...
Flexible alias protection (1998)
James Noble, Jan Vitek, John Potter
Abstract. Aliasing is endemic in object oriented programming. Because an object can be modified via any alias, object oriented programs are hard to understand, maintain, and analyse. Flexible alias...

Flexible aliasing protection (1998)
Donald Gordon, James Noble, Robert Biddle
Constraint systems and alias protection schemes have been around for the last ten or fifteen years, but due to their reliance on run-time information, have never caught on in the static programming...
Organising patterns into languages: Towards a pattern language for object oriented design (1998)
Since the publication of the Design Patterns book, a large number of design patterns have been identified and codified. Unfortunately, these patterns are mostly organised in an ad hoc fashion, making...
Basic relationship patterns (1997)
Relationships between objects are almost as important to designs as objects themselves. Most programming languages do not support relationships well, so programmers must implement relationships in...
Prototype Based User Interfaces (1997)
Many graphical interfaces are based upon classes and instances. Users of these interfaces must understand the different roles of classes and instances, and how they are related. Interface designs...

If an object oriented program is a collection of communicating objects, then the objects' protocols define the languages the program speaks. Unfortunately, protocols are difficult to design in...
GOF patterns for GUI Design (1997)
The Design Patterns book introduced twenty-three patterns for object oriented software design. These patterns are used widely, but only in their intended domain of software design. We describe how...
Patterns for Finding Objects within Designs (1997)
To design a program, first find your objects. Unfortunately, the right objects are not easy to find, and as a result most programs are not as well designed as they could be. This paper presents four...

CP96] Iliano Cervesato and Frank Pfenning. A linear logical framework (1996)
Sky Marsen, Sky Marsen, Robert Biddle, Robert Biddle, James Noble, James Noble
Use cases are the accepted contemporary vehicle for the capture, collection and management of functional requirements for information systems and networked e- and m- commerce environments.While...
Scribble - A Diagram Editor with a Minimal Interface (1996)
Existing CASE tool diagram editors have large, complex, and sophisticated graphical user interfaces. Because of their size, these interfaces are difficult to learn and hard to use. A minimal...
Shaping Object-Oriented Programs (1996)
Object-oriented programming is valued for the clarity and maintainability of its programs. However, this success is mainly confined to smallscale phenomena, such as re-implementation of a single...

Found Objects - A Pattern Language for Finding Objects from within Designs (1996)
To design a program, first find your objects. Unfortunately, the right objects are not easy to find, and as a result most programs are not as well designed as they could be. The patterns in this...
Some Patterns for Relationships (1996)
Relationships between objects are almost as important to designs as objects themselves. Most programming languages do not support relationships well, so programmers must implement relationships in...
Explicit Relationships in Object Oriented Development (1995)
Traditional object oriented analysis methodologies are based not only upon objects, but also upon relationships between objects. Object oriented programming languages do not provide support for...
