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  .
