Distributed real-time applications usually consist of several component tasks and must be completed by its end-to-end (E-T-E) deadline. As long as the E-T-E deadline of an applicat...
At the heart of a well-disciplined, systematic methodology that explicitly supports the use of COTS components is a clearly defined process for effectively using components that m...
To our point of view, adaptability is a key characteristic of components and should be at the heart of any proper component model. However, contrarily to the object crystal-box mod...
Software components are now widely used in the development of systems. However, incompatibilities between their behavioural interfaces may make their composition impossible. The o...
We present a discrete simulation model for software projects which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model represents varying staff skill levels, component coup...
