Abstract

Evolving object-oriented code such as replacing a part of a system, is not always as easy as it should be. This is because object-oriented languages do not enforce code modularisation. Component-oriented approches target this issue by expliciting software architecture in terms of components and connections between them. However, there is little language support for component-oriented programming. Existing attempts are not really well integrated with the hosting object-oriented language. In this paper, we present the CLIC component model, its integration and its support in the Smalltalk language.
