Abstract
The ObjectWorld is an experimental programming system combining the concepts of object-oriented programming and visual programming to enable software reuse. New objects are assembled from prefabricated ones. The concepts of object-oriented programming are characterized and the ObjectWorld is classified according to these concepts. Two examples demonstrate programming in the ObjectWorld.

Recommendations
Visual programming in the ObjectWorld
The software development environment ObjectWorld combines object-oriented programming and visual programming to enable software reuse. A programmer, builds new objects by the direct manipulation of prefabricated visual objects appearing on the computer ...
What Is Object-Oriented Programming?
The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...
Constraint-Based Object-Oriented Programming
Constraint programming (CP) is a young but rapidly developing technology that supports the modeling and solution of a wide range of planning, scheduling, search, and optimization problems. The integration of CP concepts into languages from other ...
