The Birth of Object Orientation: the Simula Languages

  • Chapter
From Object-Orientation to Formal Methods

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2635))

Abstract

The development of the programming languages Simula I and Simula 67 is briefly described. An attempt is made also to explain the cultural impact of the languages, in particular the object oriented aspects.

An almost identical version of this paper has been published in Software pioneers, Springer, 2002.
