N2 - As various Internet services, e-commerce, and information systems permeate our lives, their continual availability becomes a dominant issue. But continuing software evolution requires system reconfiguration. Running systems must upgrade their components or change their configuration parameters. In addition, Internet services often need to serve thousands or millions of users. This scenario raises three conflicting issues: availability, configurability, and scalability. We propose the use of mobile reconfiguration agents for the efficient, secure, and scalable dynamic reconfiguration of Internet systems. We describe a CORBA object-oriented framework that supports dynamic reconfiguration and allows customization to different kinds of computing environments ranging from PDAs and embedded systems with limited resources to powerful workstations.
