  abstract = {Recent progress in implementations of object-oriented concurrent programming languages on highly-parallel processors makes it feasible to construct large-scale parallel applications having complicated structures. Such applications can not exhibit good performance without dynamic resource management (e.g., load-balancing and object scheduling) tailored to the characteristics of the applications and/or machine architectures. Since dynamic resource management systems are usually intertwined with the language implementation, modification/extension of the management systems requires complicated programming in the low-level language. Reflective systems can provide abstractions to modify/extend the implementation-level facilities within the application-level language. This study proposes a reflective architecture of an object-oriented concurrent language for highly-parallel processors to provide resource management systems for parallel applications. To make our architecture practical, much attention is payed on balancing the trade-offs between extensibility and efficiency; we examine the requirements for realistic applications by developing resource management systems for search problems and N -body simulation, and design the architecture based on the requirements. The architecture is evaluated by experiments through a prototype system running on a parallel computer.}
