"Scandinavian Beta.."

[Nicholas S. Damaskinos]

I am looking for any references about the work done by a Scandinavian team
on Beta(?). This work is based on object based cohesion.
I apologize for the vagueness of my posting, but these are just the
only clues I've got at this point. I have been unable to locate any articles
on this work. Any clues or leads will be greatly appreciated.

You can respond over the net or email me.
Thanks in advance.

Try the following:

    Bent Bruun Kristensen, Ole Lehrmann Madsen, Birger Moeller-Pedersen,
    and Kristen Nygaard", "The {BETA} Programming Language," in _Research 
    Directions in Object-Oriented Programming_, ed. Bruce Shriver and Peter 
    Wegner, The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1987, pages 7-48.

There have been articles about Beta itself or principles connected with it
in several conferences, including ECOOP'87 (proceedings: Springer LNCS 276),
ECOOP'88 (LNCS 322), OOPSLA'89 (ACM SIGPLAN). Beta is an object-oriented
language that can be seen as a kind of successor to Simula - its design
team has some members that were already key people in the original Simula
design. There is also a Scandinavian project called Mjolner ('o' with
diagonal stroke) that is developing programming environments for Beta
and other OOPL's.

I cannot imagine what you mean by 'object based cohesion'.

For more direct information, you could try to ask e.g. Ole Lehrmann Madsen
at Aarhus University, Denmark: olm@daimi.dk  .
