This paper presents an interaction protocol that allows system components to change (upgrade, customize, etc.) without requiring other components to change as well. This protocol enables system designs in which components interact through fine-grained conversations and do not need to support data exchange formats covering large chunks of information. The discussion addresses how a simple design evolves into more sophisticated versions through local adaptations and improvements. Finally, the ability to use the protocol across application domains is addressed, allowing for critical user mass to emerge.
