<strong>Fractal is a modular and extensible component model</strong>
that can be
used with various programming languages to design, implement, deploy
and
- reconfigure various systems and applications, from operating systems
to
- middleware platforms and to graphical user interfaces.</p>
-
- <subtitle>Goals</subtitle>
- <p>The goal of Fractal is to reduce the development, deployment and
maintenance costs
- of software systems in general,
- <em>and of ObjectWeb projects in particular</em>. The Fractal model
already uses
- some well known design patterns, such as separation of interface and
implementation
- and, more generally,
- <em>separation of concerns</em>, in order to achieve this goal.
There is also
- ongoing research work to get even closer to this goal.</p>
-
- <subtitle>Sub projects</subtitle>
- <p>The Fractal Project is made of four sub projects:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The
- <strong>
- <a href="doc/index.html">Component Model</a>
- </strong> sub project deals with the definition of the
- <a href="specification/index.html">Fractal component model

- <strong>recursivity</strong> (components can be nested in
- <em>composite</em> components - hence the "Fractal" name) and
- <strong>reflexivity</strong> (components have full introspection
and
- intercession capabilities). The Fractal model is also language
- independent, and fully modular and extensible.</li>
