The use of the reflection paradigm was motivated by the need of separation of concerns in dependable systems. The separation of the application from its fault tolerance mechanisms for instance was a good way to make the system adaptive, the application and mechanisms reusable. One may ask, however, to which extent this separation of concerns is of interest for practical dependable systems. This depends very much on the mechanisms considered, and on some target objective of the system designer in terms of system properties. The present paper attempts to shed some light on these factors by drawing the lessons gained from several research projects with colleagues in the dependability community and beyond. We also claim that some novel technologies are of high interest and that their use should be based on the experience gained in the field of reflective computing. Finally, we express some of the challenges we feel of interest for the development of dependable systems in general and of adaptive fault tolerant systems in particular.
