UT40 - Asset Library Open Architecture Framework (ALOAF) Version 0.8 - Draft

The STARS Software Technology for Adaptive, Reliable Systems Asset Library Open Architecture Framework ALOAF addresses the exchange of reusable assets among diverse libraries, and the definition of an asset library platform upon which portable reuse tools may be constructed. Asset interchange and asset service interfaces are critical elements in achieving a broader objective-asset libraries which interoperate to such an extent that the boundaries between individual libraries become invisible to the end user. In general terms, this is the STARS vision of seamless library interoperation. As the STARS vision of seamless interoperation matures, the ALOAF will be updated and expanded to address additional, more advanced requirements.
