It would be fascinating to read the original paper where the Object Oriented Model as we understand it today was first proposed (equivalent to Edgar Codd’s proposal of the relational model).
I wasn’t able to find it because it seems several people informally used it without referring to a common citation.
Does anyone know which paper originally proposed it, if there was one?
The problem is that the object oriented paradigm was being used quite regularly for several years before the term “Object-oriented” was coined. Thus, there is no paper on the concept because everyone was familiar with it when the term came into being.
Prior to that they just called it by the languages.. simula, smalltalk, etc..
It’s like the term “Singleton”. The concept was around for years before the GoF coined the term and enshrined it in the Patterns book.
