A middleware for experimentation on dynamic adaptation
Renato Dourado Maia, Renato Cerqueira, Fábio Kon · 2005
This paper presents OiL, an adaptive middleware that aims at supporting experimentation with different models and techniques for dynamic adaptation of distributed systems. OiL is a CORBA implementation written completely in Lua, an interpreted language with several reflective and data description facilities. In addition to the support for dynamic adaptation, OiL was designed to be deployed on a wide range of platforms, from server machines to PDAs and mobile phones, enabling experimentation in different applications scenarios. In this paper, we report the results already achieved in this project and discuss future directions.
