It has been recognized in several works that a slice of behavior affecting a set of collaborating classes is a better unit of reuse than a single class. Different techniques and language extensions have been suggested to express such slices in programming languages. We propose delegation layers, an approach that scales the OO mechanisms for single objects, such as delegation, late binding, and subtype polymorphism, to sets of collaborating objects. Technically, delegation layers combine and generalize delegation and virtual class concepts. Due to their runtime semantics, delegation layers are more flexible than previous compile time approaches like mixin layers.
