Abstract

This paper shows that inheritance and subtyping can be introduced advantageously into a parallel object-oriented language, POOL-I. These concepts are clearly distinguished, because they deal with different aspects of programming. In this way several problems traditionally adhering to inheritance can be solved. The language POOL-I is a parallel object-oriented language with a strong typing scheme which includes genericity and dynamic binding. A novel and particularly powerful mechanism offers the possibility to manipulate and analyse types dynamically.
