Abstract
This text describes a reflexive software architecture called Guarana. Its run-time meta-level protocol has been designed to achieve a very high degree of flexibility, reconfigurability, security and meta-level code reuse. Composers are meta-objects that can be used to combine other meta-objects (that may be composers themselves) into dynamically modifyable meta-configurations. Instances of a class may have different metaconfigurations, either determined explicitly or derived from the context in which every single object was created. A free Java-based implementation of the language-independent Guarana reflexive architecture is currently available.
