Algorithms for Finite Dimensional Algebras and Modules

There should be a library of algorithms allowing to deal nicely with finite dimensional algebras and modules. For example, someone tells you an algebra as a subalgebra of a matrix algebra or as a multiplication tensor, or a modular group algebra. Compute a description of this algebra as a quotient of a quiver algebra. What about deciding whether two algebras are isomorphic? Or compute a MORITA-Transform. Compute the AUSLANDER-REITEN-quiver. Or ...

Let's be modest. Construct a system to define an algebra and modules over an algebra. [Compare e.g. MAGMA.] Provide routines to convert one representation to another. Things like direct sum of modules, direct sum (product) and tensor product of algebras should be no problem. ...

If possible use combinatorial algorithms. But also algebraic tools should be available and applicable, e.g. GRÖBNER-basis algorithms (in a polynomial algebra k[X1,...,Xn] or in a quiver algebra kQ or ...).
