— Smart Diagram Environments (SDEs) are software applications that use structured diagrams to provide a natural visual interface that behaves as if the computer “understands”...
The deployment of distributed component-based applications is a complex task. Proposed solutions are often centralized, which excludes their use for the deployment of large-scale a...
On-the-fly replacement of software may require simultanous distributed updates of components. If an update changes some interfaces or protocols, the update must be performed in a...
Component-oriented software development is becoming more and more important for the production of large-scale software applications. Today's systems are constructed by combin...
