Abstract

The development of world-wide distributed object-oriented systems poses a considerable number of hard questions. In this paper, we summarize these questions as a set of requirements which we consider to be important for a software architecture to be successful, and we present our solution for such a software architecture. Our main conclusion is that such a software architecture must be reflective in all its key abstractions in order to allow analyzing and operationalizing its properties. A main stream banking project is on its way which conforms to this architecture. At Ubilab, we are focusing on the research aspects of the project like enabling smooth evolution and explicitly modeling and operationalizing the software architecture at run time.
