Final Report Abstract

Im Rahmen des RAMSES II Projektes wurden Methoden zur flexiblen Laufzeitaktualisierung von Programmen entwickelt. Das dabei entstandene Werkzeug JavAdaptor stellt bezüglich Flexibilität und Praktikabilität eine klare Verbesserung gegenüber den bisher existierenden Laufzeitaktualisierungsansätzen dar.
