Abstract :
A general framework is developed for reconfiguring applications dynamically, where developers may alter the application without loss of service. After presenting the overall framework within which reconfiguration is possible, a description is given of the formal approach for programmers to capture the state of a process abstractly. An environment to support experimentation with dynamic reconfiguration is then described
