Program Representation

A program is represented as a network of component instances. A component specification describes a class of instances.

Components are connected via interfaces, each with multiple parameters, often bi-directional.

A component specification contains:

• Descriptions of interfaces of the component
• Descriptions of types used within the component
• Descriptions of properties, such as the summand of sum
• Specifications for making views from the completed component instance.
