Fractal is a modular and extensible [[component model]] that can be used with various [[programming language]]s to [[software design|design]], implement, [[Software deployment|deploy]] and reconfigure various systems and applications, from [[operating system]]s to [[middleware]] platforms and to [[graphical user interface]]s.
The goal of Fractal is to reduce the development, deployment and maintenance costs of software systems in general, and of [[OW2]] projects in particular. The Fractal model already uses some well known design patterns, such as [[Unit_testing#Separation_of_interface_from_implementation|separation of interface and implementation]] and, more generally, [[separation of concerns]], in order to achieve this goal. There is also ongoing research work to get even closer to this goal.
Fractal is hosted and developed by the [[OW2]] consortium. It is distributed under the [[LGPL]] [[open-source license]].
