Developing scalable and adaptable architectures that can accommodate evolving changes is crucial for reducing software development cost. To achieve scalability and adaptability, d...
Detecting software architecture inconsistencies is a critical issue in software design. Software systems are described in terms of components, component behavior and interaction a...
This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
Quality attribute models are proposed as the linkage between a specification of a quality attribute requirement and a design fragment that is focused on achieving that requirement...
Given a hardware/software partitioned specification and an allocation (number and type) of processors, we present an algorithm to (1) map each of the software behaviors (or tasks...
