The applications for ubiquitous system require not only to use the resources distributed in the environment but also to provide intelligent services to the users. In order to satisfy the requirement, the applications need to be developed using intelligent agents providing optimized services to each user. Furthermore, the platform itself needs to be able to support platform-level service optimization with self-growing capability. In this paper we propose an intelligent middleware architecture displaying high flexibility and scalability with reconfigurable and self-growing elements by adopting a hybrid architecture and dynamically configurable reflective ORB. It consists of two internal layers, one external layer, and various tools forming an efficient agent-based application platform. It also provides a development toolkit, agent management system, and context-oriented interface definition language for context awareness, which are important for developing efficient agent-based applications. The effectiveness of the proposed architecture is demonstrated using an office service scenario.
