Hi,

I have not read the article, but from what you describe I think Magritte already has an adaptive model, although it is not very explicit.

All objects can be asked for a magritte description on demand, and based on this description the components are generated. The components usually use a cache for the values, where the values are read from and stored into when the user makes changes. So, the components have a reference the description of the model and to the actual values of the model.

Regards,
Diego

Transforming the class of the adaptive model into a Trait [18] allows us turn any existing class into an adaptive model and to combine the descriptions defined in the class with the ones provided by the instance.
