In a component-based development approach system integration generally implies the packaging and deployment of a group of software components on hardware units, possibly hiding th...
—One of the key challenges in modern real-time embedded systems is safe composition of different software components. Formal verification techniques provide the means for design...
Redundancy can improve the availability of components in service-oriented systems. However, predicting and quantifying the effects of different redundancy strategies can be a comp...
The design of complex systems, e.g., telecom services, is nowadays usually based on the integration of components (COTS), loosely coupled in distributed architectures. When compon...
Formal notations for system performance modeling need to be equipped with suitable notations for specifying performance measures. These companion notations have been traditionally...
