The languages introduced the core concepts of object-oriented programming: objects, classes, inheritance, virtual quantities, and multi-threaded (quasi-parallel) program execution. ![]() With Ole-Johan Dahl, he developed the initial ideas for object-oriented programming (OOP) in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computing Center (Norsk Regnesentral (NR)) as part of the Simula I (1961–1965) and Simula 67 (1965–1968) simulation programming languages, which began as an extended variant and superset of ALGOL 60. In 1960, he was hired by the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC), responsible for building up the NCC as a research institute in the 1960s, becoming its Director of Research in 1962. He was cofounder and first chairman of the Norwegian Operational Research Society (1959–1964). Nygaard worked full-time at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment from 1948 to 1960, in computing and programming (1948–1954) and operational research (1952–1960).įrom 1957 to 1960, he was head of the first operations research groups in the Norwegian defense establishment. His thesis on abstract probability theory was entitled "Theoretical Aspects of Monte Carlo methods". Nygaard was born in Oslo and received his master's degree in mathematics at the University of Oslo in 1956. ![]()
