programming Program composition that supports building
extending systems by composing them with new subjects, and
integrating systems by composing them with one another
(perhaps with
glue or adapter subjects).
The flexibility of subject composition introduces novel
opportunities for developing and modularising object-oriented
programs. Subject-oriented programming-in-the-large involves
dividing a system into subjects and writing rules to compose
solving a number of problems that arise when OOP is used to
develop large systems or suites of interoperating or
integrated applications.
