Abstract

Most existing support for dynamic reconfiguration assumes that component interfaces specify input and output channels. The CORBA model, however, specifically supports a client-server architecture, with component interfaces describing only the provided services. Besides, the existing bindings for CORBA, based on static stubs, impose considerable difficulties on dynamic configuration. This paper investigates the use of the interpreted language Lua as a tool for dynamic configuration of distributed applications using CORBA components
