The software architecture of a distributed program can be represented by a hierarchical composition of subsystems, with interacting processes at the leaves of the hierarchy. Compo...

Abstract. Nowadays, information systems have to perform in complex, heterogeneous environments, considering a variety of system users with different needs and preferences. Software...

The goal of engineering self-organising emergent systems is to acquire a macroscopic system behaviour solely from autonomous local activity and interaction. Due to the non-determin...
Performance prediction methods for component-based software systems aim at supporting design decisions of software architects during early development stages. With the increased a...
We present a simulation model used to evaluate a distributed search engine by modelling its performance. The model is designed to aid performance-driven evolution of the system. W...
