	AnT is a software package for the simulation of dynamical systems. It was recently completely redesigned and rewritten. In the context of this rewrite two tasks are the topic of this work: - Extending AnT so that one simulation task can be distributed over a set of nodes in order to get better overall performance. To achieve this, the work of AnT is split up into one AnT-server and any number of AnT-clients. The server coordinates the work, gives out parts of the entire task to the clients and collects the results from the clients again. On the clients the actual calculations take place. The clients get tasks from the server and send the results back to the server. - Restructuring AnT in a way so that it is easily usable for developers as well as users of the package and to support the development with suitable tools. To this end, several aspects of the AnT project are worked on: * Structuring the sources * Providing a mechanism for building and installing AnT * Dynamical loading of a system after AnT has been started * Make the AnT program interpret command-line options which then control its behavior
