  abstract = {This article presents a case for compositional file systems
  (CFSs). The CFS is designed using the end-to-end argument; the basic file
  system attributes, therefore, are independent of the user requirements. The
  CFS is designed as a functionally compositional, structurally distributed,
  and dynamically extendable file system. The article also discusses the
  advantages and implementation alternatives for these file systems, and
  outlines possible applications.}
