To allow for flexibility in software structures (architectures) especially plug-ins and agents are proposed solutions. While plug-ins are used to support the conceptual and practical issues within component oriented software environments, agents are used in software areas where social metaphors like (self-)adaptability, flexibility, mobility, interactivity etc. are of interest. Common to both approaches is a strong relation to a service-oriented view on exporting functionality. This contribution illustrates the idea of the integration of both concepts on the formal basis of high-level Petri nets.
