Yup, exactly. My definition too. BTW, I generally like the other definition proposed by Krishna(?). I see it as very much like the one Steve and I promoted, though a bit fuzzy in meaning in places. Specifically; - not sure what a "binding" is in this context - don't know what "direct interactions" means - don't know what the significance of the distinction between "application" and "component" is MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
