ABSTRACT
BoxScript is a Java-based language that supports the component-oriented programming paradigm. BoxScript introduces a composition strategy and type structure to support two main properties of component-oriented programming, compositionality and flexibility. This paper briefly introduces the fundamental concepts of BoxScript and then describes how BoxScript components (i.e., boxes) are realized as clusters of interrelated Java interfaces, classes, and packages.

Deriving components from genericity
SAC '07: Proceedings of the 2007 ACM symposium on Applied computingThere is a growing recognition that programming platforms should support the decomposition of programs into components: independent units of compiled code that are explicitly "linked" to form complete programs. This paper describes how to formulate a ...

OOPSLA '07: Proceedings of the 22nd annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming systems, languages and applicationsDeveloping a general component system for a statically typed, object-oriented language is a challenging design problem for two reasons. First, mutually recursive references across components are common in object-oriented programs-an issue that has ...
