“…This is a highly generic approach for the definition of semantics: An application object from one extension module could perform a binding to a remote object whereas an application object from another extension module could compute a numerically intensive algorithm on a remote high performance computer. 19 This implies that there cannot be a single mechanism to manage and activate all application objects of a compiled application. Instead, instances of specific runtime support classes are used, which also provide interfaces to access the target system.…”

The dynamic and heterogeneous nature of distributed systems makes the development of distributed applications a difficult task. Various tools, such as middleware systems, component systems, and coordination languages, offer support the application developer at different levels.There are several coordination systems that integrate such tools into a complete environment to build applications from heterogeneous components. To achieve extensibility they usually have a layered architecture: an application is first mapped to a middle layer and then to a target system. But this approach hides the specific features of a target system from the developer, as they are not represented in the middle layer, and often induces additional run-time overhead.In this paper, we introduce the extensible coordination framework ECF that allows developers to build efficient distributed applications which exploit the specific features of the target systems. Support for target systems and application domains are encapsulated by extension modules. Modules can be built on top of other modules to support refined functionality.Example middleware systems are CORBA and JavaRMI which both support remote method invocation. 1 In contrast, JXTA aims at distributed applications with a peer-to-peer architecture. 2
