Composability, a system design principle, is mainly concerned with the inter-workings and relationships among system components. The keyword "recombinant" is often used to further elucidate composition, and means that a sufficiently composable system allows components to be combined and assembled in varying combinations to satisfy user requirements. Self-containment, the ability of a component to be deployed independently, and statelessness are also key properties of a ‘composable' component. Composability thus seems to underlie the concept of ease of integration of systems. An example of a composable product would be an off-the-shelf program that can be integrated into a larger system via a simple configuration file or script [1]. Ideally, in such a case, existing formats would not require vast infrastructure changes to accommodate the new, off-the-shelf component. In many modern cases, however, great reengineering efforts have been required to do just that. Composability......
