coupling
Last modified: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 

In computer science, coupling is considered to be the degree to which each program module relies on other modules, and is also the term used to describe connecting two or more systems. Coupling is broken down into loose coupling, tight coupling, and decoupled. Coupling is also used to describe software as well as systems. Also called dependency.

See also loose coupling, tight coupling, and decoupled.

Towards a More Effective Coupling of Reflection and Runtime Metamodels for Middleware (PDF)
Reflection plays an important role in the flexibilisation of middleware platforms. Through dynamic inspection, middleware interfaces can be discovered and invoked at runtime, and through adaptation the structure and behavior of the platform can be modified on-the fly to meet new user or environment demands.
