Abstract

Object-oriented programming has become quite widespread in recent years, although there are few guidelines to help us distinguish when a system is "truly" object-oriented or not. In this paper we discuss what have emerged as the main concepts in the object-oriented approach, and we attempt to motivate these concepts in terms of how they aid in software development.
