Procedure Calls Are the Assembly Language of Software Interconnection: Connectors Deserve First-Class Status

  • January 1994
  • By Mary Shaw
  • This 1994 report elevates the relations among software system components to first-class entities of the system, entitled to their own specifications and abstractions.

    CMU/SEI Report Number: CMU/SEI-94-TR-002

  • Abstract

    Software designers compose systems from components written in some programming language. They regularly describe systems using abstract patterns and sophisticated relations among components. However, the configuration tools at their disposal restrict them to composition mechanisms directly supported by the programming language. To remedy this lack of expressiveness, we must elevate the relations among components to first-class entities of the system, entitled to their own specifications and abstractions.
