7. Conclusion 

In this paper a number of open issues in object-oriented programming has been discussed: 

• 

Modeling versus reuse. The main point here is that there has been a shift of focus from 

reuse of code to modeling and design. In order to obtain the full benefit of object-

orientation there should be a balance between these extremes. In addition it has been 

argued that it is technically possible to use one language  for analysis, design and 

implementation, including data modeling in object-oriented databases. This integration 

greatly simplifies the development process and make it possible to construct better 

tools.
