One model of multithreading gaining popularity on multiprocessor systems is the message-driven model of computation. The message-driven model is a reactive model in which an arriv...
This paper presents a knowledge-intensive support paradigm for platform-based product family design and development. The fundamental issues underlying the product family design an...
We propose a design theory that tackles dynamic complexity in the design for Information Infrastructures (IIs) defined as a shared, open, heterogeneous and evolving socio-technica...
Engineering design methodology recommends designing a system as follows: Start with an unambiguous speci cation, partition the system into blocks, specify the functionality of eac...
