The moderate approach to integrating concurrency and object orientation

Principles of integrating concurrent computation, objects, and inheritance are discussed. The approach outlined here is guided by general considerations about the rôles of the two paradigms being merged. We suggest our approach to some open design questions: the relation of concurrency to inheritance and the thread and synchronisation concept among objects. The question, where should the combination of concurrency and objectorientation be settled between the paradigms, is analysed in different aspects. The presented approach also avoids the inheritance anomaly
