Abstract
Flexibility to adapt to different applications is a key requirement of modern operating systems. We have explored the use of meta-objects and reflection as a means to write adaptable system software. The paper discusses the Apertos operating system, that uses these techniques. It outlines how meta-objects help to support flexibility and how we have implemented the concepts, and gives some performance figures
