subject-oriented programming
<programming> Program composition that supports building object-oriented
systems as compositions of subjects, extending systems by composing them with
new subjects, and integrating systems by composing them with one another
(perhaps with glue or adapter subjects).
The flexibility of subject composition introduces novel opportunities for
developing and modularising object-oriented programs. Subject-oriented
programming-in-the-large involves dividing a system into subjects and writing
rules to compose them correctly. It complements object-oriented programming,
solving a number of problems that arise when OOP is used to develop large
systems or suites of interoperating or integrated applications.
