  • The paper proposes language-independent mechanisms to enable reusable, composable partial programs as a systematic reuse feature for DSLs.
• T1D: Composition
  • It introduces composition constructs and a composition process to assemble encapsulated language components into complete programs.
• T4A: Workbenches
  • It presents the Reuseware Composition Framework as tool support for implementing the proposed reuse/composition approach.
• T3A: Meta-languages
