....than these individual components. Such abstractions are called layered abstractions [92] because the abstraction specification of one layer forms the implementation of the next higher layer. A challenge is to make layered abstractions compositional such that new layers can easily be constructed [111]. Although various approaches exist (e.g. GenVoca [11] Koala [112] there is a need for more general, languageindependent solutions. Moreover, configuration validation, for instance by modeling configuration constraints, is needed to automatically detect and prevent invalid component ....

....To meet the first goal (increasing the reuse level) large collections of reusable components, providing high payoff to programmers using them, should be available and easily accessible. Payoff, i.e. less lines of code that need to be written, can be increased by using large scale components [18, 111]. Unfortunately, large scale components tend to be more specialized for the application domain (i.e. domain specific) Consequently, the probability of being reused decreases as components increase in size [18, 111, 131] Another problem is that large scale components may themselves include more ....
