Abstract

The actually achieved benefits of using binary software components are not as revolutionary as promised. Component platforms are available but the composition process is not “componentized”. We propose to increase the automation of software composition along with the necessary degree of flexibilty by introducing a set of languages (CoPL and CoML) and tools. By automating the composition process routine tasks are performed by tools. Additionally, software engineers can preserve and instantiate composition patterns in CoPL and CoML and thus at a higher level of abstraction than at the level of pure glue code.
