I ran into Kevin Sullivan the other day and he told me about a project
that he's working on that sounds pretty interesting. Here's the abstract
to a paper that should be available as a UVA tech report real soon now
from here:
ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/techreports/README.html
We present a new dimension in software architecture: the systematic
embedding of web servers into runtime software components to provide a
highly leveraged, scalable, secure mechanism for accessing, monitoring and
controlling systems through their runtime architectures. Applications
could include remote debugging; distributed management; spider indexing of
computations to aid understanding and evolution; survivability control;
runtime analysis using web-encoded metadata; web-based open
implementations; and aspect-oriented runtime architectures. A simple
system suffices to show the feasibility of and to illustrate this idea.
