Abstract
In an open component-based system, the ultimate goal of creating an extension is to improve and enhance functionality of an existing component by tuning it for specific needs, making it more concrete, implementing a faster algorithm, and so on. Effectively, the client of a component benefits from using an extension, only if the extension does not invalidate the client. Imposing semantic constraints on extensions ensures their consistency from the client perspective.
