Abstract
This paper presents the use of Synergy as an Hybrid Object-Oriented Conceptual Graph Language (HOO-CGL). Synergy is an implemented visual multi-paradigm language based on executable conceptual graphs with an activation interpretation, instead of a logical one. This paper describes the formulation in Synergy of basic concepts of the hybrid object-oriented paradigm: encapsulation, definition of a class with methods and daemons, method and daemon definitions, class hierarchy, instance and instantiation mechanism, inheritance (both property and method inheritance), method call, method execution and daemon invocation due to accessing data. An example is used to illustrate the presentation of such an Hybrid Object-Oriented Conceptual Graph Language.
