The growing popularity of wired and wireless Internet requires distributed systems to be more flexible, adaptive and easily extendable. Dynamic reconfiguration of distributed component-based systems is one possible solution to meet these demands. However, current component frameworks that support dynamic reconfiguration either place the burden of preparing a component for reconfiguration completely on the component’s developer or impose strong restrictions on the component model and the communication mechanisms. We investigate a middle ground between these two extremes and propose a component framework that supports a framework guided reconfiguration and places minimal burden on the component’s developer. This component framework offers mechanisms to analyze and treat the interactions between the target component and other components during a dynamic reconfiguration.
