Abstract

This paper is about client-specific customization ofsystems that implement an on-line Internet service in thepresence of simultaneous client-specific views. Theproblem is that each client must be able to customize therunning system for use in its own context, withoutimpacting the service behavior that is delivered to otherclients. To solve this, we propose to customize the systemon a per client request basis, where the system itselfconsists of a stable core and several extensions that areinjected into the core as needed. However, this approachbrings on its own several consistency managementproblems that must be dealt with in order to make theapproach viable. We give an overview of these problemsand present a management architecture that deals withthese problems.
