  • Mosaic objects and method for optimizing object representation performance in an object-oriented representation system
    Patent number: 5313636
    Abstract: Object-oriented software-based systems may be optimized by providing a data representation which is initially permitted to be completely dynamic such that at compile time representation need not be specified and thereafter the data structure and representation is progressively optimized. The invention is based on the recognition that the important data structures in object-oriented systems are not the objects but rather the slots, i.e., the attributes of objects.
