Abstract

MELD combines concepts from data flow and object-oriented programming languages in a unique approach to tool reusability. MELD provides three units of abstraction — equations, classes and features — that together allow sufficient options for granularity and encapsulation to support the implementation of reusable tools and the composition of existing tools in parallel ( i.e. , interleaved) as well as in series.
