Abstract
In this paper we present a solution to software reuse based on Pluggable Units (PUs) that can be used to compose new applications from existing parts. Although this goal has been achieved in hardware design through the creation of integrated circuits (ICs), the attempts to build a software equivalent were not fully successful. Pluggable units are a full fledged software implementation of the IC concept while providing new features not existing in hardware, namely the ability to compose software hierarchically. An application example is provided in JUse, a new Java-based language supporting pluggable units and in JWidget, a pluggable version of Java/Swing. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
