In software product families, the full benefit of reuse can only be achieved if traceability of requirements to architecture, components and further down to source code is support...
Capturing and using design rationale is becoming a hot topic for software architects, as architectural design decisions are now considered first class entities that should be reco...
Embedded systems are rapidly growing in size, complexity, distribution, and heterogeneity. As a result, the traditional practice of developing one-off embedded applications that a...
Abstract. Evolutionary hardware design reveals the potential to provide autonomous systems with self-adaptation properties. We first outline an architectural concept for an intrins...
Maintenance and evolution of complex software systems (such as large telecom embedded devices) involve activities such as reverse engineering (RE) and software visualization. Alth...
