Dynamic object technology enables applications to be modified and enhanced during development and run time without access to source code. The advantages of dynamic objects are often described abstractly, with general references to gains in developmental productivity and application flexibility. Dynamic objects play a pivotal role in Blackboard Technology's (BBTech's) blackboard and agent based software products. The author discusses the specifics of the important role dynamic objects play in BBTech's software products and in one of the applications built using them: the PLAN component of the Mission Control System for the Canadian Space Agency's RADARSAT-1 Earth observation satellite. BBTech's expertise is in flexibly integrating software systems and effectively organizing and controlling the use of these systems in the resulting applications. There are three types of software systems that are integrated using our products: legacy applications, sometimes written years ago; commercial software products, with integration and extension capabilities predetermined by their vendors; unimplemented systems being developed concurrently with the integrated application.
