Abstract: Today's trend in software and system engineering is to utilize more specialized models. This model-based development approach makes a single engineering task more ea...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
The development process of embedded systems is characterized by the cooperation of various domains: components of hardware and software have to be considered as well as components...
- Multi-agent systems (MASs) have become an important topic in distributed systems research. These distributed multi-agent systems call for special software modeling methods that e...
While a typical software component has a clearly specified (static) interface in terms of the methods and the input/output types they support, information about the correct sequen...
