Keywords: Plugin-Systeme, Komponenten, Netze-in-Netzen, Modellierung, AOSE, Mulan

Objectives: Es existieren bereits diverse Softwarepakete, die verschieden elaborierte Plugin-Systeme enthalten bzw. darauf aufgebaut sind, und in der Praxis weite Verbreitung gefunden haben. Dieses Projekt soll ein konzeptuelles Modell erarbeiten, dass die Eigenschaften der existierenden Systeme beschreiben und erläutern kann. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der dynamischen Erweiterbarkeit und Konfigurierbarkeit von Software-Systemen, die immer häufiger benötigt wird.

Ideen, die im Zuge der agentenorientierten Softwareentwicklung (AOSE) diskutiert werden, können auch den "klassischen" Softwaresystemen zugute kommen. Daher werden in diesem Projekt die im Rahmen von Mulan erarbeiteten Konzepte auf komponentenbasierte Software übertragen. Als Fallstudie zur Erprobung der Konzepte dient die Anwendung Renew.

Zum einen geht es um die Modellierung von Konzepten, die dann auch softwaretechnisch umgesetzt werden. Dies kann und soll sowohl als Umsetzung in einer Hochsprache, als auch mittels Petrinetze durch Implementation durch Spezifikation erfolgen. Zum anderen geht es auch um die Entwicklung von Modellierungstechniken, die es ermöglichen sollen neue Konzepte (Methaphern, Ansätze, Vorgehensweisen und andere Konzepte aus der AOSE) in diesen Modellen zu integrieren. Dabei ist eine gegenseitige Wechselwirkung der beiden Sichtweisen unausweichlich.
