Abstract
A generalized mechanism manages ad-hoc type conversions in computer software. A management framework improves type conversion tasks by enabling the modularization of this task by partitioning the work of defining an individual type convertor from the task of identifying and locating type convertors on demand. The details of how type convertors are applied on demand are also a function of the management framework.
