3.6 p 123 Measuring the quality of an abstraction
Five meaningful metrics:
- coupling
- cohesion
- sufficiency
- completeness
- primitiveness

p 126 Trade-offs of time and space semantics
Various forms of message passing:
- synchronous
- balking: sender will abandon if receiver is not ready
- timeout
- asynchronous

p 128 The role of mechanisms and visibility
Three ways that an object may be visible to an other:
- same lexical scope
- parameter
- field

p 368-372 Description of the relational model
among other:
- First normal form (1NF): each attribute represents an atomic value
  (nondecomposible attributes)
- Second normal form (2NF): table is in 1NF, and each attribute
  depends entirely upon the key (functionally independent attributes)
- Third normal form (3NF): table is in 2NF, and no attribute
  represents a fact about another attribute (mutually independent
  attributes)
