abstract = {Object-oriented frameworks are a particularly
appealing approach towards software reuse. An
object-oriented framework represents a design for a
family of applications, where variations in the
application domain are tackled by filling in the
so-called hot spots. However, experience has shown
that the current object-oriented mechanisms (class
inheritance and object composition) are not able to
elegantly support the "fill in the hot spot" idea.
This paper introduces class composition as a more
productive approach towards hot spots, offering all
of the advantages of both class inheritance and
object composition but involving extra work for the
framework designer.},
