Abstract
Abstract. Normal class-based code inheritance across component boundaries creates a dependency between the involved components. To avoid this, a speci cation of the inherited class must be part of the respective component's contract and the inheriting class must be speci ed with reference to this speci cation only. With this, inheritance can be replaced by object composition without sacri cing the possibility of static analysis, yet being more exible. 1
