Abstract
Middleware platforms have emerged as an effective answer to the requirements of open distributed processing. Existing standards, however, lack the ingredient of responsiveness in face of the constantly evolving needs of application areas such as groupware, multimedia and mobile computing. In our opinion, to meet the needs of such applications, new approaches to the engineering of middleware platforms are required in order to allow for i) configurability of the underlying support offered by the platform, and ii) the ability to open the implementation in order to inspect and adapt the platform's components. This paper presents an architecture for configurable and open middleware platforms based on the concept of reflection. It also concentrates on the description of a first prototype, which implements the main points of this reflective architecture and demonstrate its practicality.
