Abstract. We define a probabilistic contract framework for the construction of component-based embedded systems, based on the theory of Interactive Markov Chains. A contract specif...
— Smart Diagram Environments (SDEs) are software applications that use structured diagrams to provide a natural visual interface that behaves as if the computer “understands”...
Critical properties of software systems, such as reliability, should be considered early in the development, when they can govern crucial architectural design decisions. A number o...

Software development in general and groupware applications in particular can greatly benefit from the reusability and interoperability aspects associated with software components....
Component-based software development would allow application software be largely constructed, rather than programmed. This approach would dramatically improve the productivity of ...
