Abstract

In this article, we discuss an approach to build dynamic and heterogeneous ensembles of objects. The presented approach is based on a middleware for distributed systems and extends the deployment system such that ordinary objects are turned into agents without modifying the original object. By avoiding a direct connection between the different components, we obtain a highly dynamic and flexible system.
