We present an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of function and object based models in system specification. Functional models should be used for functional design space expl...
This paper is concerned about multitasking embedded software development from the system specification to the final implementation including design space exploration(DSE). In the ...
Coupled systems comprise multiple interacting subsystems and are an increasingly common computational science application, most notably as multiscale and multiphysics models. Paral...
In a UML model, different aspects of a system are covered by different types of diagrams and this bears the risk that an overall system specification becomes barely tractable by t...
Layered architectures are a proven principle for the design of software systems and components. The paper introduces a layered reference architecture for software agents which assi...
