A natural trend in most of the engineering disciplines is the construction of systems from components. This has the potential to reduce costs and increase reliability, provided th...
The paper discusses how compositional semantics is implemented in the Verbmobil speech-to-speech translation system using LUD, a description language for underspecified discourse ...
Most software-intensive systems rely on a componentbased design and are therefore made up of encapsulated structural units which are hierarchically composed of one another. In thi...
Abstract. The problem of self-optimization and adaptation in the context of customizable systems is becoming increasingly important with the emergence of complex software systems a...
Building complex software systems necessitates the use of component-based architectures. In theory, of the set of components needed for a design, only some small portion of them ar...
