Past and future of reflective middleware: towards a corpus-based impact analysis

Proceedings of the 7th workshop on Reflective and adaptive middleware, in collocation with the ACM/IFIP/USENIX 9th Int. Middleware Conf. (Middleware 2008) (ARM'08), Leuven, Belgium, pp. 41-46, ISBN 978-1-60558-367-9, ACM, 2008 (6p.)
Abstract
Analysing the impact of novel abstraction is a crucial activity, in particular when it comes to middleware research. This applies to the use of reflection in middleware, a paradigm that was proposed 10 years ago. Impact analysis is unfortunately a difficult and multifaceted task. We argue here for a broad and systematic approach based on statistical text analysis. We present preliminary results that demonstrate the potential of this approach to uncover hitherto unsuspected gaps, trends, and relationships between research themes, and hopefully inform the future of reflective middleware research.
