Abstract
Applications are normally developed with a specific purpose in mind and when
new features are needed the source code has to be modified, recompiled and
redistributed. It will be more beneficial if new features can be dynamically
added during runtime without the need to disrupt execution, especially in the
case of ground station software.
This thesis is about the implementation of a dynamic development environment
within which a modular system can be created from existing components
that can be extended with additional components at any time. The interaction
between these components can then be specified which can result in a
completely automated system.
It is concluded that the graphical tools of such an environment can make it
easy for people who do not necessarily have programming knowledge to build
a system from existing components that can be extended and reconfigured
whenever necessary.
