Abstract
Composition of program components must be expressed in some
language, and late composition can be achieved by an interpreter
for the composition language. A suitable notion of component is
obtained by identifying it with the semantics of a generalised
structured command. Experiences from programming language design,
specification and implementation then apply. A component can be
considered as defining objects or commands according to
convenience.
A description language including type information provides sufficient means to describe component interaction according to the underlying abstract notion of components. Actual compositions can be type checked before execution.
