Quote: an object is anything that has a unique identifier; e.g., an immutable tag or a memory address [»taivA4_1993]

Quote: each object has a identity or name, data or state, and behavior

Quote: while a data object exists, it is passed around by uniform reference; procedures do not store the objects themselves

Quote: objects created by expressions and destroyed when last reference disappears; accessed by uniform reference throughout the system [»ingaDH8_1981a]

Quote: all Amoeba objects are named and cryptographically protected by capabilities; e.g., access a file by a capability [»vanrR10_1988]

Quote: objects are things drawn from the problem/solution space; a class describes a set of common objects [»boocG_1999]

Quote: abstractions either have an "eternal" existence (values, concepts) or a temporary, tangible existence (objects) [»taivA4_1993]

Quote: a language should include objects and a uniform means of referencing them [»ingaDH8_1981a]

Quote: a record represents a physical or conceptual object; a field and field name represents a property [»wirtN6_1966]

Quote: to be object-oriented, a computer must provide automatic storage management [»ingaDH8_1981a]

Quote: the SunOS slab memory allocator retains the state of complex objects between uses; object-coloring for global cache utilization; space efficient and fast [»bonwJ6_1994]

Quote: object cache is up to 5x faster; preserves the invariant portion of an object's initial state [»bonwJ6_1994]

Quote: objects exist; their life histories consist of the events they participate in; can be anything with a history [»shawC7_1987]

Quote: since an object's state changes with time, an object exists 'in time'; unlike a value [»maclBJ12_1982]

Quote: Simula classes are non-nested blocks, i.e., endure over time [»dahlOJ_1972a, OK]

Quote: instead of global data, use objects to pass context; typically as parameters to the object's constructors

Quote: a datum is a set of bits that has a meaning; an object is a datum whose parts are defined by language rules; each field of an object holds a datum [»steeGL10_1998]

Quote: in paper solutions, entities have state and they respond to requests for action; but no use of inheritance or polymorphism; object-oriented is not natural [»paneJF2_2001]

Quote: can define methods, variables, and extensions as objects in their own right [»liebH11_1986]

Quote: an object encapsulates private state information, operations that manipulate the data, and an optional thread of control [»chinRS3_1991]

Quote: within an object, data in private variables and procedures in methods; localizes the data/program distinction [»robsD8_1981]

Quote: an object-oriented system has a single entity, the object, to represent both information and its manipulation [»robsD8_1981]

Quote: in object-oriented programs, the system's components are objects with properties and actions that transform the system's state [»nygaK10_1986]

Quote: computing is intrinsic to objects; invoked by messages; only message transmission occurs outside of objects [»ingaDH8_1981a]

Quote: most abstractions in XDE were objects represented by a record with procedure variables to implement its operations [»sweeRE7_1985]

Quote: fishdeath.cause can be a procedure cause operating on argument fishdeath [»palmJ5_1973, OK]

Quote: in Simula, fishdeath.cause.countermeasure.cost yields a value according to class methods [»palmJ5_1973, OK]

Quote: Lisa treats data as concrete objects with operations at any time; unlike current systems with modes [»willG2_1983]

Quote: Ocra objects do not contain processes; they contain data structures and operation definitions; no inheritance [»taneAS8_1992]

Quote: Simula's class and object was a generalization of Algol's block and block instance [»ichbJD_1972]

Quote: an object is a data record of fields and a method suite of procedures that accept the object as a first argument [»cardL_1991]

Quote: an object type determines a prefix of the data record and method suite; subtypes may define additional fields and methods

Quote: in Smalltalk, every entity is an object which has a class and memory and sends/receives messages [»goldA3_1976]

Quote: a Self object holds its own behavior instead of using a class; increases flexibility [»smitRB10_1995]

Quote: a capability is a pointer to a computing object and the actions that the computation may perform on that object; e.g., segment capabilities for reading, writing, and executing

Quote: Cosmos has immutable objects that are transformed into new objects by atomic actions [»walpJ6_1988]

Quote: a Kevo object defines a clone operation to duplicate the object, and a new operation to create an initialized object. The programmer selects which variables to duplicate or initialize [»taivA11_1993]

Quote: object-orientation includes moving arbitrary data types transparently across computing barriers

Quote: a stream function creates a stream by allocating memory and setting function pointers, input stream, and initial data [»stoyJE3_1972]
