Abstract
Composition of algorithms has dominated software composition since the inception of programming. The ubiquitous subroutine call acts as the primary composition operator in virtually all programming models and paradigms, appearing in various guises such as function call, method invocation, remote procedure call, etc. The inadequacies of the tight coupling imposed by such composition mechanisms and the need for more flexible alternatives have become clearer along the evolution through object-oriented to component-based, and now, service oriented computing.
