OBJECT

The word object is defined and used differently based on the field of study. In computer science, an object(computer science) is an instance of a class. In the field of physics, "a physical body or physical object (or simply a body or object) is an identifiable collection of matter, which may be constrained by an identifiable boundary, and may move as a unit by translation or rotation, in 3-dimensional space." A non-physical entity, such as a thought or idea, created by a physical object like the human mind or brain, can be treated as an object. Intellectual property, is a product of the human mind. Once an idea is expressed or articulated in a physical medium, it is treated as material that is subject to legal protection as copyright, patent, trade mark or trade secret. Objects have characteristics like properties, internal processes and internal objects. An object may be a stone, leaf, tree, company, person, organization, soda, supermarket, sardines, sandwich, money, bonds and many others. All objects when placed inside a system, according to the general system theory by Bertalanffy, must contribute to the accomplishment of some goal or objective.

OBJECT ORIENTATION

The term object oriented, in the field of computers, the term object oriented programming and object oriented software is commonly used. Object orientation is a useful framework to write and manage huge and complex software and systems. Instead of writing thousands or millions of code, a programmer utilizes with objects to create functional software. Object oriented techniques allows developers to handle increasing complexity in computer hardware and software.

IN RESEARCH

Research, "comprises creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications."

OBJECT ORIENTED RESEARCH

Object oriented research is a term used here to refer to that type of research that is focused on any object in this world or universe.  That object becomes the research object. Object oriented research starts and ends with objects. Object orientation allows humans to deal with increasing complexity both in the computer sciences and other branches of scientific inquiry.

Directions in object-oriented research, to some extent follow the roots of the researchers. We see, therefore, object-oriented research related to programming languages, to operating systems, to databases, etc. This does not necessarily mean that object-oriented researchers are rediscovering the results already present in other areas. On the contrary, researchers in other areas are finding a new territory in which to apply their ideas. The net effect is, however, that the directions in object-oriented research can be clearly categorized according to the traditional areas in computer science to which they are related.
