Research to date has demonstrated the apparent differences how architects, as ‘experts’ and members of the public as ‘non-experts’ perceive and understand visual represent...
A case study of performance and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant multiprocessors is presented. Two specific architectures are analyzed taking into account system functio...
A distributed software system’s deployment architecture can have a significant impact on the system’s properties, which depend on various system parameters, such as network ba...
In this paper we present an approach for quantitative analysis of application-specific dataflow architectures. The approach allows the designer to rate design alternatives in a qu...
