Abstract

Building and maintaining non-trivial software systems that are independently extensible is a difficult task. This is because the combination of independent extensions tends to produce conflicts that are difficult to anticipate, and to which no general resolution strategy exists. In this paper, we show how some of these conflicts can be avoided if domain-specific contexts are modeled using a representation that is open for extension and safe for sharing among independent extensions.
