“…Object-Oriented Misconceptions. Based on the analysis and comparison between Amstrong"s [14] object-oriented taxonomy and the various sources described above, eight frequently occurring object-oriented concepts are selected as the fundamental object-oriented concepts relevant to this research. Those concepts are object, class, abstraction, polymorphism, encapsulation, inheritance, message passing and method.…”

Abstract-There are many approaches in assessing students' ability in object-oriented programming, but little research has been discussed concerning the evaluation of novices' ability in applying object-oriented fundamental concepts in their source code. The main purpose of this study is to construct and validate through expert consensus, a set of evaluation criteria for assessing novices' ability through evaluation of the application of object-oriented concepts in program source code. These evaluation criteria are derived based on the common fundamental object-oriented concepts based on Malaysian object-oriented programming syllabuses. A three-round Delphi approach has been chosen in establishing the consensus and participated by a number of OOP experts. Based on the Delphi study, sixteen evaluation criteria have been established for assessing novices' ability in applying fundamental object-oriented concepts. The proposed evaluation criteria were then validated by associating them with established related object-oriented design heuristics and object-oriented design principles.

“…An example modelling of a state-transition system ('state machine') including decision and merge points (depicted by diamonds) is given in Figure 1, representing the dynamic behaviour of a cooling system: 15 minutes after the state Idle has been entered, the temperature is measured. If it is below 30 degrees Celsius, the system goes back into Idle (doing nothing), otherwise it starts cooling and continues until the temperature is less than 30 degrees Celsius, at which point it will go back into 6 For a general overview of the main characteristics of object-orientation, see Armstrong (2006). Besides dynamic modelling and encapsulation, another important feature of object-orientation is inheritance.…”

The terms refugee, asylum seeker, and boat people are of particular prominence in the Australian discourse surrounding immigration policy, and are widely used in day-to-day conversation among Australians. Despite their frequency of use, a lexico-semantic study of the terms has not been carried out to date. This paper fills this gap by proposing a semantic analysis of them. The study is based on a corpus created from online comments to the Australian television programme Go Back To Where You Came From (Season 1, SBS 2011). After introducing the data and analytical framework -object-oriented semantics -we discuss the terms' lexical semantics. While the discussion of immigration issues is emotionally laden, our results suggest that the default semantics of the terms do not include evaluative components. Rather, speakers tend to evaluate the agreed-upon semantic specifications differently depending on their political views. We show how each term represents a specific node in a network of concepts for translocating individuals, but may in context also be applied to neighbouring nodes that lack a lexicalisation. While the terms are seemingly used interchangeably, our analysis instead emphasises the influence of the underlying conceptual structure and the resulting constrained plasticity of nominal meaning in context.

“…I speak of concept analysis, or the philosophical analysis of concepts. 2 Very rarely do people call attention to the fact that they are taking that approach, and sometimes this lack of explicit discussion of the methodology confuses the authors or the readers into thinking that they are doing something else. When authors are confused, they make claims that are not warranted by their argument.…”

Concept analysis in programming language research: done well it is all right

Programming language research is becoming method conscious. Rigorous mathematical or empirical evaluation is often demanded, which is a good thing. However, I argue in this essay that concept analysis is a legitimate research approach in programming languages, with important limitations. It can be used to sharpen vague concepts, and to expose distinctions that have previously been overlooked, but it does not demonstrate the superiority of one language design over another. Arguments and counter-arguments are essential to successful concept analysis, and such thoughtful conversations should be published more.
