Object oriented (OO) techniques are proving useful in software engineering for dealing with complex systems and for increasing the ease of code development and maintainability. However, their application to electromagnetic modeling is still in its infancy. A brief introduction for microwave engineers to OO paradigms is made. A review of the state of the art in OO full-wave electromagnetic modeling is made, an illustrative example is shown, and likely future trends are discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
