Abstract

This paper introduces the NODS project been currently con- ducted at the LSR-IMAG laboratory, Grenoble - France. NODS aims at defining an open, adaptable, evolutionary architecture that can be ex- tended and customized on a per-application basis. A database system is seen as an infrastructure comprised of co-operating adaptable and extensible services from which applications can build their customized NODS database components. Furthermore, services or database systems configuration can be adapted at runtime (e.g., add new services, change services internal policies), according to environmental changes.
