Abstract
An object-oriented programming language includes support for encapsulation of aspects and for change notification for aspect values. These features are then used to implement various change notification mechanisms. In general, a notification request for change in an aspect value in a target object is forwarded to any object (which may be the same object or another object) having aspects from which the aspect value is computed, derived, or replicated.
