Abstract. We present a method to specify software for a special kind of safetycritical embedded systems, where sensors deliver low-level values that must be abstracted and pre-proc...
This paper describes a general methodology for automated recognition of complex human activities. The methodology uses a context-free grammar (CFG) based representation scheme to ...
Modification analysis is part of most maintenance processes and includes among other activities, early prediction of potential change impacts, feasibility studies, cost estimation...
Scalability of software engineering methods can be improved by application of the methods to individual components instead of complete systems. This is, however, possible only if ...
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...
