A particular interest of mine is programming paradigms.
For example, how does object-oriented programming differ
from logic programming from functional programming from 
procedural programming from ...  I recently came across 
a paper with a brief discussion of access-oriented 
programming which is a new paradigm to me.  Unfortunately,
I didn't very much out of the description as the context 
of the article was comparison of paradigms and really 
assumed familiarity.  Can anyone supply me with pointers 
to readable introductions to access-oriented programming?  
How about articles or books on programming paradigms 
in general?  Reply by mail and I will summarize results 
if there is enough interest.  (The article I referred to
was "If Prolog is the Answer, What is the Question? or
What it Takes to Support AI Programming Paradigms" by
Daniel G. Bobrow in IEEE Trans. of Soft. Eng., Nov. 1985.
I recommend the article.)
