Abstract
Active networks are an example of a wide area distributed system. The objects in this system require platform independent machine-readable, flexible behaviour specifications. Current mechanisms in CORBA, DCOM and similar technologies are not adequate. We demonstrate for the first time how specifications with the required properties can be written in XML, the new language of the WWW. Network users always want more services, better services or different services. As a result, network operators typically have to support a large array of services and features. The administrative overhead for the management of the services is a significant component of the cost. This management cost and complexity is increasing rapidly as the range of available services increases, and following current trends will ultimately dominate service provisioning overheads.
