Meta-level Architectures and Reflection
This book for the first time collects an important part of the research on reflective systems, providing both an introduction to the topic and a reference to research in the field. It contains a selection of the papers presented at the Workshop held in Alghero, Italy, during October 1986, the goal being to bring together researchers in order to discuss the problems arising in the definition and the construction of reflective systems, and to investigate their practical application. The papers in the first part shed some light on the concept of reflection or its origins. Important questions treated in these papers are: What are the issues in computational reflection? How does it relate to the notion of reflection in logic and meta-mathematics? How can reflective systems be categorized? Why is meaning an important issue in reflection and reflection an interesting domain to study meaning? A number of practical realisations of reflective systems are presented in the second part. The papers investigate the problems arising in the construction of reflective systems, and present techniques to solve these. The implementations discussed range from specific systems exhibiting a reflective behaviour e.g. logic-based reasoning systems, rule-based systems, etc., to programming languages providing facilities for the construction of reflective systems (logic programming languages, description-based languages, functional languages, object-oriented and actor languages). Finally, various applications of meta-level architectures and reflection are described.
Metalevel Architectures and Separation of Crosscutting Concerns
This volume constitutes the proceedings of REFLECTION 2001, the Third Int- national Conference on Metalevel Architectures and Separation of Crosscutting Concerns, which was held in Kyoto, September 25-28, 2001. Metalevel architectures and re?ection have drawn the attention of researchers and practitioners throughout computer science. Re?ective and metalevel te- niques are being used to address real-world problems in such areas as: progr- ming languages, operating systems, databases, distributed computing, expert systems and web computing. Separation of concerns has been a guiding principle of software engineering for nearly 30 years, but its known bene?ts are seldom fully achieved in practice. This is primarily because traditional mechanisms are not powerful enough to handle many kinds of concerns that occur in practice. Over the last 10 years, to overcome the limitations of traditional frameworks, many researchers, including several from the re?ection community, have proposed new approaches. For the ?rst time, papers on advanced approaches to separation of concerns were explicitly solicited. Following the success of previous conferences such as IMSA’92 in Tokyo, Re?ection’96 in San Francisco, and Re?ection’99 in Saint Malo, we hope that the conference provided an excellent forum for researchers with a broad range of interests in metalevel architectures, re?ective techniques, and separation of concerns in general.
Meta-Level Architectures and Reflection
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Meta-Level Architectures and Reflection, Reflection'99, held in St. Malo, France in July 1999. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 44 submissions. Also included are six short papers and the abstracts of three invited talks. The papers are organized in sections on programming languages, meta object protocols, middleware/multi-media, work in progress, applications, and meta-programming. The volume covers all current issues arising in the design and analysis of reflective systems and demontrates their practical applications.
