Abstract (EN): An Adaptive Object Model (AOM) is a common architectural style for systems in which classes, attributes, relationships and behaviors of applications are represented as metadata, allowing them to be changed at runtime not only by programmers, but also by end users. Frequently, behavior is added to AOM systems by increasingly adding expressiveness to the model. However, this approach can result in a full blown programming language, which is not desirable. This pattern describes a solution for adding behavior to AOM systems by using metadata to identify points in the application where behavior can be dynamically added. This solution may limit the expressive power of the model, but can also simplify it, since points of extension are well defined in the system. © Copyright 2011 Carnegie Mellon University.
