Abstract
A Dynamically Reconfigurable Applications Mutable Architecture (DRAMA) greatly reduces time, cost, and other resource expenditures associated with customizing a legacy application so that application features can be activated, deactivated, and even altered without requiring the user to reprogram or reinstall the application. A software developer may use DRAMA to deliver DRAs that enable users to switch between configurations during run-time by specifying the application features the user needs. DRAMA provides a lightweight and efficient approach to rapidly build DRAs from legacy applications, verify the validity of a user requested combination of features, and reconfigures DRAs during run-time.
