Fractal is a modular and extensible [[component model]] that can be used with various [[programming languageslanguage]]s to [[software design|design]], implement, [[deployment|deploy]] and reconfigure various systems and applications, from [[operating systemssystem]]s to [[middleware]] platforms and to [[graphical user interfacesinterface]]s.

The goal of Fractal is to reduce the development, deployment and maintenance costs of software systems in general, and of [[ObjectWeb]] projects in particular. The Fractal model already uses some well known design patterns, such as 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 [[ObjectWeb]] consortium. It is distributed under [[LGPL]].
