Abstract

This paper examines the strategic importance of object oriented programming, looking ahead to the year 2000. It also surveys the coming impact of the more general area of object oriented computing, which includes analysis, design, databases, libraries, tools, standards, graphical user interfaces, and environments. A model of the software industry called the "software fountain" is used to explain how these developments are likely to impact the various parts of the industry. A discussion is presented on object oriented languages, concentrating on C++ and Smalltalk.
