According to Szyperski, “a software component is a unit of composition with contractually specified interfaces and explicit context dependencies only”. But it is well known tha...
Software has become strategic to developing effective distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Next-generation DRE systems, such as total ship computing environments, coo...
An emerging tapestry of computations will soon integrate systems around the globe. It will evolve without central control. Its complexity will be vast. We need new ideas, tools an...
Application integration is a major trend in information technology today. In this paper we present a number of principles for the design, validation and presentation of process mod...
