— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
Real-Time (RT) systems exhibit specific characteristics that make them particularly sensitive to architectural decissions. Design patterns help integrating the desired timing behav...
Early performance analysis based on Queueing Network Models (QNM) has been often proposed to support software designers during the software development process. These approaches a...
Success of 3D applications on the Web inherently depends on object behavior and interaction. Current Web3D formats often fall short in supporting behavior modeling. This paper int...
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) are increasingly used in the context of business processes. However, the modeling approaches for process-driven SOAs do not yet sufficiently i...
