Concepts and Concept-Oriented Programming

By: Alexandr Savinov

Abstract

A new programming language construct called Concept is defined as a pair of two classes: one reference class and one object class. Instances of the reference class are passed-by-value and are intended to indirectly represent objects. Instances of the object class are passed-by-reference. Each concept has a parent concept specified by means of the concept inclusion relation.
