System for dynamic run-time binding of software modules in a computer system

摘要: In telecommunications switching systems, software is frequently modified, enhanced or replaced altogether by new versions. The implementation integration of the revised into operational system must be accomplished in accordance with strict requirements for not disturbing ongoing activities system. Therefore, it desirable that halted while change to made. Rather, preferred approach able replace modules versions on fly, during operation. smooth modification made possible disclosed allows such changes minimal disturbance dynamically linking and binding execution. accomplishes this applying expanded object-oriented programming techniques utilizing language-independent interface specifications remain unchanged obviate need storing symbolic information would subject following modification.
