A Calculus for Modeling Software Components
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Many competing definitions of software components have been proposed over the years, but still today there is only partial agreement over such basic issues as granularity (are components bigger or smaller than objects, packages, or application?), instantiation (do components exist at run-time or only at compile-time?), and state (should we distinguish between components and "instances" of components?). We adopt a minimalist view in which components can be distinguished by composable interfaces.
