Composition is the process, which assembles a program from components by matching the requests of host with the provisions of contributors. The way in which contributors are provided differs, depending on the used composition mechanism. This paper defines a classification of composition mechanisms and describes what provision characteristics are typical for them. This classification is preparatory...
Software systems, which are dynamically composed from plug-and-play components, allow users to adapt an application to the working scenario at hand. While the testing of individual components is well understood, there are no systematic techniques that test if components can be assembled in arbitrary orders. This paper introduces a method and a tool for testing the dynamic composability of component-based...
Many office and enterprise business applications are overloaded with features. As a result users struggle in finding the functionality needed to support their tasks. Customization support for existing applications is often limited and hard to accomplish for end users. Software product lines provide support for customizing complex applications. However, they typically support vendors deriving customized...
Product line engineering and plug-in techniques pursue different but complementary goals. Software product line engineering strives for modeling the variability of software systems on different levels of abstraction, whereas plug-in systems support software extensibility, customizability, and evolution. We present an approach demonstrating the benefits of integrating those two areas and discuss the...
