A framework for policy bindings

摘要

In this paper we investigate the design of extensible middlewarethat supports dynamic binding configuration by pluggable and replaceablepolicies. An important aspect of our approach is the distinction betweenbindings and their activations, which allows us to reason about andimplement bindings with changing activations and activation policies(adaptation), and policies for managing activations (metapolicies) asseparate entities. A design of a prototype binding framework whichsupports pluggable policies and metapolicies is described indetail
