Abstract :
Software codons-like their biological counterparts-carry compact information to allow rebuilding programs from software components available in the surroundings. Software codons, contain-besides the usual component interface-outstanding values and lO-signatures computed from sets of input-output pairs. We discuss requirements for fast program reassembly. Software codon generation should be done offline. Candidate components are selected by online automatic software codon matching.
