Abstract
Object oriented programming languages and the computer architecture to support the reliable and efficient execution of programs written in these languages are important issues for providing better programming environment. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the foundation for the design and implementation of object oriented programming languages and object oriented architecture. First, various definitions for object in existing languages and systems are surveyed. Then a new model of object and computation on objects is introduced to establish the foundation. A new object oriented language is used both to rationalize the model and to exemplify how the model is applied to object oriented languages. Finally, issues in the design and implementation of an object oriented architecture which directly reflects this model is described.
