In this paper we introduce a framework for implementation of automatically reconfigurable middleware layer for the system represented as a network of devices. The middleware enables communication between passive heterogeneous components of such a distributed system by introducing dedicated service agents. Service agents establish run-time configurable data paths and they enable quality of service based reconfiguration and redundancy in data transport. The case study is presented to demonstrate utilization of quality of service measurements for automatic middleware data path reconfiguration.
