TLDR
A reflective middleware architecture which can be used to develop adaptive mobile applications is proposed and a prototype using the Web Services technology which focuses on the problem of adapting on a set of attributes in a coordinated manner is developed.Abstract:
Mobile applications are required to operate in environments in which the availability for resources and services may change significantly during system operation. As a result, mobile applications need to be capable of adapting to these changes to offer the best possible level of service to their users. However conventional middleware is limited in its capability of adapting to the environment changes and different users requirements. Computational reflection applied to middleware design has introduced a new research field, reflective middleware. In this paper we propose a reflective middleware architecture which can be used to develop adaptive mobile applications. In order to validate the architecture proposed we developed a prototype using the Web Services technology which focuses on the problem of adapting on a set of attributes in a coordinated manner.read more

Dynamic context bindings : infrastructural support for context-aware applications
TL;DR: This thesis proposes an abstraction, called the Context Binding Transparency, which facilitates the development process of context-aware applications by facilitating the responsibility for creating and maintaining context bindings is relieved from the application developer and is shifted to a context binding infrastructure.

RA 3 : enabling adaptivity via a reflective architecture
TL;DR: The RA3 architecture (Reflective Architecture for Adaptive Applications) fulfils this requirement by exploiting the concept of architectural reflection, i.e., the computation performed by a system about its own software architecture.
