Simons, A.J.H. (2004) The theory of classification part 13: template classes and genericity. Journal of Object Technology, 3 (7). 15 - 25. ISSN 1660-1769
Abstract
The object-oriented type theory for non-specialists is discussed. It is shown that how parametric polymorphism, known as templates in C++ and genericity in Ada and Eiffel, can be added to the Theory of Classification. The generic types could be created by abstracting over parts of simple types. A generic type is modeled as a type function expecting an actual type argument.
