Abstract
The next generation of distributed systems will require individual
components to adapt to their environment. Increasingly,
developers want architectures that allow the internal structures of
the software that comprise their systems to change autonomously
with changes in the deployment environment. This has given rise
to research in reflective technologies like middleware, languages,
etc. However, these technologies only get us part of the way to
systems that can adapt. For a system to be truly adaptive, it must also change in support
of evolving technologies and ontologies. When engineering to
support these requirements, some of goals of reflective
technologies can also be met without changes to middleware and
languages. The Enterprise Intelligent Distributed Architecture
(EIDA) is an attempt to realize these goals by creating a set of
development tools that are also deployed with the system as run
time servers. By completely automating the development of key
components of the runtime system, the goal is to enable the
adaptation of these components to changes in the environment,
technology and ontology of the system.
