623 Citations1979Ronald J. Brachman
This chapter examines in detail the history of a set of network-structured formalisms for knowledge representation—the so-called “semantic networks,” which were introduced around 1966 as a representation for the concepts underlying English words and were designed expressly to treat concepts as formal representational objects.
ACM SIGPLAN NoticesUsing prototypical objects to implement shared behavior in object-oriented systems
542 Citations1986Henry Lieberman
Because any object can be used as a prototype, and any messages can be forwarded at any time, delegation is the more flexible and general of the two techniques.

381 Citations1988Daniel G. Bobrow, Linda G. DeMichiel +4 more
This specification presents adescription of the standard Programmer Interface for the Common Lisp Object System, a object-oriented extension to Common Lisp as defined in Common Lisp: The Language, and provides a facility for declaring new types of method combination.

Automatic, look-and-feel independent dialog creation for graphical user interfaces
150 Citations1990Brad Vander Zanden, Brad A. Myers
Jade is a new interactive tool that automatically creates graphical input dialogs such as dialog boxes and menus by eliminating all graphical references from the dialog's content specification, which allows a dialog box or menu's look andfeel to be rapidly and effortlessly changed by simply switching look and feel databases.

131 Citations1986Paul Barth
The techniques for creating interfaces that are highly interactive, rich in layout structure, and effectively reusable across applications are described through three techniques: object-based graphics with taxonomic inheritance, interobject relationships such as composition and graphical dependency, and separation of the interface and application.
