Probably not actually, since people don't seem to mean the same thing at
all across the two fields. Mostly what I see is more 'object based' than
'object oriented'.
For real integration of the levels, do the dynabook thing and run
Smalltalk on the metal, or at least as close as you can be bothered to
get. See http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/RTOSinSmalltalk.html for
the paper on this subject I presented at the 99 OOPSLA workshop.
