The support of QoS properties in component-based software requires the run-time selection of appropriate concrete QoS contracts at the ports of the interacting components. Such a s...
We propose a meta-framework called ‘Plastik’ which i) supports the specification and creation of runtime component-framework-based software systems and ii) facilitates and mana...
Abstract. We present an algorithm for counting the irreducible components of a complex algebraic variety defined by a fixed number of polynomials encoded as straight-line programs ...
We are advocating a component-oriented software development approach that provides support for a clear separation between the computational and the compositional entities of an ap...
Abstract. We develop a probabilistic interpretation of non-linear component extraction in neural networks that activate their hidden units according to a softmaxlike mechanism. On ...
