ACTIVITIES

• Reflective Middleware. Designing and development of a reflective middleware supporting multicast RMI and communication-oriented reflection (collaboration with Tokyo Institute of Technology).
• Security and Reflection. Separation of the security aspect from the rest of the system via reflective mechanisms (collaboration with Florida Atlantic University).
• Architectural Reflection. Development of a methodology for dynamic reconfiguring nonstopping system through the reification of their design information (collaborations with University of Milano Bicocca, and University College London).
• Reflective Development Metodology. Development of a metodology (based on patterns and UML) which allows to design reflective systems (collaborations with University of Milano Bicocca and Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg).
• Reflective Paradigm and Compilers. We are developing a simple programming environment which validates the idea that reflection is a system level concept and not a language feature.
