The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Gaia: A Middleware Infrastructure to Enable Active Spaces1 (2002, methodology): “2K was strongly influenced by previous research on reflective middleware [5] [6] [7] and was built on top of a modified version of TAO [8], the pattern-based CORBA ORB from Douglas Schmidt et al. [9].”
A survey on engineering approaches for self-adaptive systems (2015, background): “According to [122], reflective middleware can deal with highly dynamic environments and supports development of flexible, adaptive systems.”
Self-healing systems - survey and synthesis (2007, background): “Kon et al. [ 31 ] have proposed that the reflective middleware model, unlike traditional middleware, is represented as a compilation of various components that is reconfigurable.”
Self-adaptive software: Landscape and research challenges (2009, methodology): “The external engine implements the adaptation logic, mostly with the aid of middleware [Kon et al. 2002; Floch et al. 2006], a policy engine [Bigus et al.”
Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems: A Research Roadmap (2009, background): “Reflection [26,27,28] enables a system to observe its own structure and behaviour.”
