Abstract. During an architectural evolution of a component-based software, certain quality attributes may be weakened. This is due to the lack of an explicit definition of the link...
Component-based software construction is widely used in a variety of applications, from embedded environments to grid computing. However, errors in these applications and systems ...
We previously developed a component-oriented model that combines ideas from self-organizing architectures and from design by contract to address the complexity of design in multi-t...

This paper presents a generic software architecture for large-scale distributed applications in which mobile agents are an integral part. We developed this architecture through th...
