Safety-critical distributed real-time systems, such as networked medical devices, must operate according to their specification, because incorrect behaviour can have fatal conseque...
Recent research suggests that large software systems should have a documented system architecture. One form of documentation that may help describe the structure of software syste...
Software-intensive systems evolve continuously under the pressure of new and changing requirements, generally leading to an increase in overall system complexity. In this respect,...
Software systems are subject to increasing complexity and in need of efficient structuring. Multi-agent system research has come up with approaches for an organization-oriented co...
The description of software architectures has always been concerned with the definition of the appropriate languages for designing the various architectural artifacts. Over the pa...
