An increasingly important trend in the engineering of complex systems is the design of component integration standards. Such standards de ne rules of interaction and shared commun...
Design patterns are usually described in terms of instances. Templates describe sentences of some language with a particular form, generate sentences upon instantiation, and can be...
Abstract--Safety analysis in Systems Engineering (SE) processes, as usually implemented, rarely relies on formal methods such as model checking since such techniques, however power...
The problem of consistently engineering large, complex software systems of today is often addressed by introducing new, "improved" models. Examples of such models are arc...
Prior research attempts to formalize the structure of object-oriented design patterns for a more precise specification of design patterns. It also allows automation support to be ...
