CLAM: Composition Language for Autonomous Megamodules

Advances in computer networks that support the invocation of remote services in heterogeneous environments enable new levels of software composition. In order to manage composition at such a high level we envision a need for purely compositional languages. We introduce the CLAM composition language, a megaprogramming language. By breaking up the traditional CALL statement the CLAM language focuses on the asynchronous composition of large-scale, autonomous modules. Furthermore the language has the capability to support various optimizations that are specific to software composition.
