Concept-oriented programming: from classes to concepts and from inheritance to inclusion
Abstract
For the past several decades, programmers have been modeling things in the world with trees using hierarchies of classes and object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to programming, called concept-oriented programming (COP), which generalizes classes and inheritance by introducing concepts and inclusion, respectively.
