Framework Patterns for Evolution of Nonstoppable Software Systems
Walter Cazzola, James O. Coplien, Ahmed Ghoneim, Gunter Saake · 2003
Patlet. The fragment of pattern language proposed in this paper, show how to adapt a nonstoppable software system to reflect changes in its running environment. These framework patterns depend on well-known techniques for programs to dynamically analyze and modify their own structure, commonly called computational reflection. Our patterns go together with common reflective software architectures.
