Abstract
A managed automation programming model is provided for versioning computing components independently, isolating such components, and dynamically binding them. For example, components such as an application and an and-in are able to version independently of one another, so that disparate versions of these components are still able to communicate—or in the nominal case, the same versions are able to communicate. Moreover, such components are isolated by the managed automation programming model so that they can be disintegrated and bound with other components in a seamless manner. Lastly, the independent versioning and component isolation advantageously allows for dynamic binding of the components at runtime.
