Abstract: Model based development, like proposed by the OMG’s Model Driven Arre (MDA), aims to raise the level of abstraction from working on the code to working with models. For...
—For multiclass flow line models, we identify a class of service times that allow a decomposition of the system into subsets of servers called channels. In each channel, the cus...
Although software reuse can improve both the quality and productivity of software development, it will not do so until software developers stop believing that it is not worth thei...
In this paper we provide a general method to derive productform solutions for stochastic models. We take inspiration from the Reversed Compound Agent Theorem [14] and we provide a...
The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for future software development practices. This resulted in the formulation of three submodels for...
