Insbesondere wenn das zugrunde liegende System von einem Parameter abhängt, ist es entscheidend, sie im Bezug auf diesen Parameter effizient zu verfolgen. Für die Berechnung invarianter Mengen stützen wir uns für ihre Approximation auf numerische Algorithmen. Typischerweise können diese Methoden jedoch nur auf endlich-dimensionale dynamische Systeme angewendet werden. In dieser Arbeit präsentieren wir daher einen numerischen Rahmen für die globale dynamische Analyse unendlich-dimensionaler Systeme. Wir werden Einbettungstechniken verwenden, um das core dynamical system (CDS) zu definieren, welches ein dynamisch äquivalentes endlich-dimensionales System ist.Das CDS wird dann verwendet, um eingebettete invariante Mengen, also eins-zu-eins Bilder, mittels Mengen-orientierten numerischen Methoden zu approximieren. Bei der Konstruktion des CDS ist es entscheidend, eine geeignete Beobachtungsabbildung auszuwählen und die geeignete inverse Abbildung zu entwerfen. Dazu werden wir geeignete numerische Implementierungen des CDS für DDEs und PDEs vorstellen. Für eine nachfolgende geometrische Analyse der eingebetteten invarianten Menge betrachten wir eine Lerntechnik namens diffusion maps, die ihre intrinsische Geometrie enthüllt sowie ihre Dimension schätzt.

Unternehmen agieren hierbei als Anbieter von Software-Plattformen, auf denen Drittanbieter Softwarelösungen für den Markt anbieten können. Etablierte Beispiele sind hierbei sogenannte App-Stores, die z.B. von Google oder Apple angeboten werden. Beim Aufbau von Software-Ökosystemen müssen vom Plattformanbieter viele architektonische Entwurfsentscheidungen getroffen werden. Bisher gibt es keine Architekturrichtlinien und -werkzeuge, die den Entwurf einer Ökosystemarchitektur unterstützen. Dadurch fehlt hier systematisches, wiederverwendbares Wissen. Plattformanbieter müssen auf ad-hoc Entscheidungen zurückgreifen. Dies kann dann zu Problemen im Betrieb der Software-Plattformen führen, zu erhöhten Ausfallrisiken und Mehrkosten. Der Mangel an Architekturwissen manifestiert sich konkret in zwei Gruppen von Herausforderungen: Erstens fehlt eine Wissensbasis zu Architekturalternativen und zweitens fehlt es an methodischem Wissen zu Entwicklung und Betrieb von Software-Ökosystemen. Eine Architekturwissensbasis würde Orientierungshilfen zu den Bestandteilen von Software-Ökosystemen und deren Abhängigkeiten geben, während methodisches Wissen die Erstellung dieser Systeme erleichtern würde. In der Dissertation werden diese Herausforderungen durch die Entwicklung des Frameworks SecoArc für die Modellierung von Software-Ökosystemen angegangen. Der Beitrag der Dissertation ist zweifach: 1. Das SecoArc-Framework umfasst eine Architekturwissensbasis, die wiederverwendbare Architekturentwurfsentscheidungen von Software-Ökosystemen enthält. Die Wissensbasis wurde entwickelt, indem das Architekturwissen bestehender Ökosysteme sowie aus existierender Fachliteratur ermittelt wurde und in einer Produktlinie für Software-Ökosysteme konsolidiert wurde. Die Produktlinie umfasst architektonische Gemeinsamkeiten und Variabilitäten von Software-Ökosystemen. 2. Das SecoArc-Framework liefert methodisches Wissen, um die Ökosystemarchitektur in Modellen zu entwerfen und zu analysieren. Dieses Wissen wurde entwickelt, indem drei Architekturmuster identifiziert wurden. Jedes Muster erfasst unterschiedliche Beziehungen zwischen architektonischen Entwurfsentscheidungen zu den Qualitätsmerkmalen einer Ökosystemgesundheit und der Erreichung von Geschäftszielen. Die Architekturmuster und die Produktlinie wurden dazu genutzt, ein Modellierungsframework zu entwickeln und in Form eines Prototypen umzusetzen, welches einen Entwurfsprozess, eine Modellierungssprache und eine Architekturanalysetechnik umfasst. Es erleichtert das Modellieren, Analysieren und Vergleichen von Ökosystemarchitekturen. Die Ergebnisse der Dissertation wurden im Rahmen von zwei Studien evaluiert.
