1.10. Customer Adaptations and Expansions

There are several different possibilities to extend and adapt the runtime system to your own needs.

You can use the provided and existing components and can arrange them to a set of components with the functionality you need. This issue is called scalability. For some components, you have the choice under several different implementations with different functionality and resource requirements.

As the second possibility, you can configure these provided standard components to your needs. Here you can specify the behavior and the resource needs of the runtime system. This issue is called configurability.

The third way is write your own component to replace an existing component or to add this component additionally to the runtime system. This is called extensibility.

Each of these issues will be described in detail in the following chapters.

• 1.10.1. Versions
• 1.10.2. Configuration
• 1.10.3. Implementing own components
• 1.10.4. Implementation Notes
