Abstract
The object-oriented paradigm is currently the most popular way of analysing, designing, and developing application systems, especially large ones. To obtain an understanding of this paradigm, we could begin by asking: What exactly does the phrase ‘object-oriented’ mean? Looking at it quite literally, labelling something as ‘object-oriented’ implies that objects play a central role, and we elaborate this further as a perspective that views the elements of a given situation by decomposing them into objects and object relationships.
