Software reuse and especially the paradigm of software components are promising approaches to increase the efficiency of software development. One of the basic problems of softwar...
The boundary between application and system is becoming increasingly permeable. Extensible applications, such as web browsers, database systems, and operating systems, demonstrate...
In this paper, we consider the problem of how to represent the locations of Internet hosts in a Cartesian coordinate system to facilitate estimate of the network distance between ...
Component-based reuse is a hopeful solution to the software crisis. Research on software architecture (SA) has revealed a component-based vision of the gross structure of software...
Increasingly, systems are composed from independently developed parts, and mechanisms that allow those parts to interact (connectors). In many situations, specialized forms of int...
