Abstract
The problems of efficiently building a large software system are solved by the present invention of language scoping for effective configuration descriptions. A software system is defined by a tree of system models which are written in a functional language. The functional language provides a unique combination of static and dynamic scoping. This combination is required to write modular, flexible, and concise, yet complete, configuration descriptions.
