The initial idea is to make references active and customized elements of the program which can intercept all accesses to the represented objects. A new programming construct, called concept (hence the name of the approach), describes both behavior of references and behavior of objects. Objects exist in a hierarchy modeled by the concept hierarchy. IS-IN relation is used instead of the traditional IS-A. Also, concept-oriented programming…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1501.00720/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>cs.PL
