Abstract

Synchronization components in an object oriented framework are hard to express because of their conflicting and interfering aims with the reuse and extension concepts. After surveying the state of the art, we identify two problems: the synchronization problem deals with acceptance of an activity based solely on the current executing activities and those wishing to do so, and the behavior problem deals with the availability of methods based solely on the state of the object. The allowance for an activity to execute is then expressed by two separated denotations, each handled separately with respect to the extensibility and reusabilty mechanism, whatever it may be.
