Facilitating Client Side Experimentation with Combination of Algorithms Using Plug-in Architecture: A Design Science Approach

End users expect information and communication technology (ICT) to deliver flexible software applications specifically customized to their needs. End users can be provided a set of algorithms to choose one among them or to try different possible combination of algorithms during run time for using the required functionality because in today's scenario, many algorithms exist for various functionalities and implementation of these algorithms is easily available as open source. For client side experimentation during runtime with available algorithms or to test self developed algorithm with other available algorithms, Plug-in oriented software architecture found much suitable. An approach to scientific problem of client side experimentation during run time using design science research paradigm is proposed in this paper.
