Notes
- 1.
Information hiding is a key contribution by Parnas to computer science. He has also done work on mathematical approaches to software quality using tabular expressions [ORg:06].
- 2.
The inventors of Simula 67 were Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard.
- 3.
Dahl and Nygaard were working on ship simulations and were attempting to address the huge number of combinations of different attributes from different types of ships. Their insight was to group the different types of ships into different classes of objects, with each class of objects being responsible for defining its own data and behaviour.
