Software performance based on performance models can be applied at early phases of the software development cycle to characterize the quantitative behavior of software systems. We...
Abstract. Embedded systems for safety-critical applications often integrate multiple “functions” and must generally be fault-tolerant. These requirements lead to a need for mec...
We describe a software architecture for storage services in computational grid environments. Based upon a lightweight message-passing paradigm, the architecture enables the provis...
: Multiagent Systems (MAS) are open, heterogeneous and distributed software systems of autonomous agents. The management of exception differs in MAS from what is known in usual eng...
: This paper discusses the issues and promising approaches in (1) obtaining rigorous specifications of the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements associated with application functio...
