Abstract
The paper discusses an approach towards a more systematic development of application systems (AS). A multi-level AS architecture is presented that starts on the lowest level with software components common to all AS, and progresses through levels of successively higher specialization towards an application-specific user level. The creation of an AS is treated as the integration of software components — even existing complete subsystems — into the various levels. The paper concludes with an investigation as to what extent the integration process may be supported by standards, policies and computerized tools.
