Abstract. The creation of distributed applications requires sophisticated compositions, as various components — supporting application logic or non-functional requirements — mu...
Many middleware platforms use computational reflection to support adaptive functionality. Most approaches intertwine the activity of observing behavior (introspection) with the a...

Frameworks that support the implementation and execution of service compositions are a fundamental component of middleware infrastructures that support the design of adaptive syste...
Novel ubiquitous computing applications such as intelligent vehicles, smart buildings, and traffic management require special properties that traditional computing applications d...
We believe that to fully support adaptive distributed applications, middleware must itself be adaptable, adaptive and policy-free. In this paper we present a new language-independ...
