In this paper, we advocate the use of visual tooling for the development and maintenance of component-based software systems. Our contribution is twofold. First, we demonstrate ho...
A crucial issue in the design of Component-Based (CB) applications is the ability to early guarantee that the system under development will satisfy its Quality of Service requireme...
Scenarios are a popular means for capturing behavioural requirements of software systems early in the lifecycle. Scenarios show how components interact to provide system level func...
Non-functional specifications of software components are considered an important asset in constructing dependable systems, since they enable early Quality of Service (QoS) evaluati...
—One of the key challenges in modern real-time embedded systems is safe composition of different software components. Formal verification techniques provide the means for design...
