The Software Matrix is a framework that actively supports flexible configuration of software system components based on fine-grained message-passing communication. Cross platform development uses the Software Matrix architecture to build, on-demand, components with the Software Matrix cell structure. It binds them together using novel methods devised in this research. By employing message-passing with a discovery mediator structure, we've built a pluggable architecture that gracefully supports cross-platform development. This was demonstrated with a proof-of-concept system using a repository of cell source code, a builder mechanism that targests both Windows and Linux platforms, and a prototype target system implementation.
