Genie: a Domain-Specific Modeling Tool for the Generation of Adaptive and Reflective Middleware Families
Nelly Bencomo, Gordon S. Blair · 2006
Abstract. At Lancaster University we are investigating about the two following challenges (i) how to develop new, scalable and adaptable middleware systems offering richer functionality and services, and (ii) how to do it in a more efficient, systematic, and if possible automatic way that guaranties that the ultimately configured middleware will offer the required functionality. This article is centered on how we face the second challenge. We describe Genie, our proposal of how to use Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) to support a development approach during the life cycle (including design, programming, testing, deployment and execution) of reflective middleware
