Based on observations of ongoing work in development and research future trends in object-orientation are outlined. Focus is on analysis and design methods, programming languages, and tools to support them.1 Introduction S.5 2 The State of the Art S.6-17 - 2.1 Object-Oriented Methods S.6-9 - 2.1.1 Object-Oriented Concepts S.7-8 - 2.1.2 The Object-Oriented Software Development Process S.9 - 2.2 Tools to Support Object-Oriented Methods S.10 - 2.3 The Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Environments S.11-14 - 2.4 Open Problems S.15-17 3 Trends in Object-Orientation S.18-25 - 3.1 Development Methods S.20-21 - 3.2 Languages S.22 - 3.3 Tools S.23 - 3.4 Design Patterns S.24 - 3.5 Frameworks S.25 4 Conclusion S.26enobject orientationobject-oriented programming languageobjektorientierte ProgrammierspracheObjektorientierungsoftware developmentSoftwareentwicklungtool supportWerkzeugunterstützung004report
