Implementing behavioral reflection

In this section, we discuss the fundamental aspects of behavioral reflection from an implementation point of view. We first explain why reflective towers are at the heart of behavioral reflection. Then, we look at the implementation of 3-Lisp and other languages to illustrate the state of the art in the efficient implementation of behavioral reflection.
