Many would argue that future breakthroughs in software productivity will dependon our ability to combine existing pieces of software to produce new applications. An important step...
Building software systems out of pre-fabricated components is a very attractive vision. Distributed Component Platforms (DCP) and their visual development environments bring this v...
In this paper, a diversity generating mechanism is proposed for an Evolutionary Programming (EP) algorithm that determines the basic structure of Multilayer Perceptron classifiers ...
—Automated regression test suites are an essential software engineering practice: they provide developers with rapid feedback on the impact of changes to a system’s source code...
Sensor-based services propose to gather, manage, analyze, access and react to sensor data. These services are distributed over heterogeneous platforms. The complexity of the imple...
