Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet opens wide opportunities for various types of network services. Development of new network services need the support of a powerful design framework. This paper describes such a design framework that can help service providers to build platform independent hardware-software co-designed services. Those new services consist of both software and hardware components, which can be reconfigured through the network. The new design framework can be considered as a Java framework with a hardware extension. Part of the measurement results and an application demonstrator are given.
