: In a component-based development process the selection of components is an activity that takes place over multiple lifecycle phases that span from requirement specifications thro...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
A coarse-grain multithreaded processor can effectively hide long memory latencies by quickly switching to an alternate task when the active task issues a memory request, improving...
A deterministic behavior of systems composed of several modules is a desirable design goal. Assembling a complex system from components requires also a high degree of re-usability....
Nowadays, video games propose rich scenarios with movementsbased game play, through the manipulation of dedicated devices. The motivation of this study is the elaboration of a com...
