Description
A web server is a program that responds to your browser's
requests. Often, the response is a HTML document that the browser
renders in a way that looks pleasant to humans. The manner in which it
responds is generally determined before the server is started up; it
is static. The content may change arbitrarily, but the actual logic
that the server follows resists change while the server is still
running. The goal of this thesis is to explore the possibility of
removing this restriction, allowing a web server's logic to be
modified arbitrarily during runtime by select users. This is why the
term ``Federated'' appears in the title: my goal is to create a system
that can be developed in a decentralized manner, by multiple entities
with similar high-level goals but different ideas at the lower level.
