Abstract

Tools for composing software impose homogeneity requirements on what

is composed—that modules must share a

language, target the same libraries, or share other conventions.

This inhibits cross-language and cross-infrastructure

composition. We observe that a unifying representation of

software turns heterogeneity of components into a matter

of styles: recurring interface patterns that cross-cut large

numbers of code-bases. We sketch a rule-based language for

capturing styles independently of composition context, and

describe how it applies in two example scenarios.
