Abstract
Applications based on plug-in architectures are extensible through thirdparties
and enable customized user environments. We argue that extensibility and
customization are important features in enterprise application software. In an
ongoing research project we are developing a plug-in platform in .NET for the
enterprise domain. Targeting the enterprise domain raises special requirements
with security, reliability and versioning. This paper presents models for host and
plug-in integration that address execution of plug-ins in reliable settings and
allowing independent evolution of core applications and plug-ins and it will show
how this has been solved in a consistent and transparent way in the .NET plug-in
framework.
