Abstract
Several rationales for flowcharting computer programs are discussed along with weaknesses, strengths, and current trends. One often over-looked motivation is the use of “macro-flowcharts” to compare, for pedagogical reasons, the gross features of various classes of processes involved in applied programs. The techniques and virtues of this approach are the focus of the paper.

What Is Object-Oriented Programming?
The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...
I+: A multiparadigm language for object-oriented declarative programming
This paper presents a multiparadigm language I^+ which is an integration of the three major programming paradigms: object-oriented, logic and functional. I^+ has an object-oriented framework in which the notions of classes, objects, methods, inheritance ...
