In this paper we present an approach to performance estimation for hard real-time systems. We consider architectures consisting of multiple processors. The scheduling policy is ba...
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...
The Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) of a hardware structure is the probability that a fault in the structure will affect the output of a program. AVF captures both microa...
—Much of modern software development consists of building on older changes. Older periods provide the structure (e.g., functions and data types) on which changes in future period...
Abstract. The specification and resolution of non-trivial domain constraints has become a well-recognised measure for improving the stability of large software systems. In this pa...
