Busse, ThorstenDenz, NicolasPage, BerndMoeller, AndreasPage, BerndSchreiber, Martin2019-09-162019-09-162008https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/26407In this paper, we present an open source framework that supports the implementation of persistable domain models in dynamic plugin-based architectures on Microsoft .NET. The framework includes a domain model service that allows plugins to provide new domain types to other plugins as well as to use, extend, and observe domain objects contributed by other plugins. Furthermore, a persistence service is provided as an abstraction from concrete repository implementations. The paper discusses our solutions to the challenges of persistence in dynamic architectures, presents an exemplary domain-specific language for material flow analysis, and compares our work to related approaches from the common software platforms .NET and Eclipse. Though the framework is in principle application- independent, we apply it primarily in the context of environmental management information systems.Text/Conference Paper
