Building complex software systems necessitates the use of component-based architectures. In theory, of the set of components needed for a design, only some small portion of them ar...
Components provide an easy to use programming paradigm allowing for better re-usability of application code. In the context of distributed programming, autonomous hierarchical com...
It is now widely recognized that the so-called nonfunctional or extra-functional properties of a software system are at least as important as its somewhat more classical functiona...
Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) models have been shown to provide a better model for capturing polysemy and synonymy than Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). However, th...
Autonomic management can improve the QoS provided by parallel/distributed applications. Within the CoreGRID Component Model, the autonomic management is tailored to the automatic
