An Ontology-Driven Approach to Reflective Middleware

Overview Recent work in the field of middleware technology proposes semantic spaces as a tool for coping with the scalability, heterogeneity and dynamism issues arising in large scale distributed environments. Reflective middleware moreover offers answers to the needs for adaptivity and self-determination of systems where mobility and ubiquity add to such environments. Based on experiences with traditional middleware we argue that ontology-driven management is a major advancement for semantic spaces and provides the fundamental means for reflection. By means of ontologies, and ontology-based reasoning services one can implement automatic adaptation of the middleware's functionality to environmental changes and user desires.
