			      Zusammenfassung

In several works on design methodologies, design patterns, and programming language design, the need for program
entities that capture the patterns of collaboration between several classes has been recognized. The idea is that in
general the unit of reuse is not a single class, but a slice of behavior affecting a set of collaborating classes. The
absence of large-scale components for expressing these collaborations makes object-oriented programs more
difficult to maintain and reuse, because functionality is spread over several methods and it becomes difficult to get the
``big picture''. We propose {\em Adaptive Plug and Play Components} to serve this need. These components are
designed such that they not only facilitate the construction of complex software by making the collaborations explicit,
but they do so in a manner that supports the evolutionary nature of both structure and behavior.
