Assessing inheritance for the multiple descendant redefinition problem in OO systems. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li-Thiao-Te, P., Kennedy, J., & Owens, J. (1997, November). Assessing inheritance for the multiple descendant redefinition problem in OO systems. Presented at International Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems - OOIS’97

Current use of inheritance has illustrated that the introduction of conceptual inconsistencies is possible in a class hierarchy. This paper discusses the reasons why
complete method redefinition infringes the essence of inheritance. A redefinition m... Read More about Assessing inheritance for the multiple descendant redefinition problem in OO systems..
