The provision of efficient methods and tool support for the development and engineering of distributed systems is a key enabling factor for the evolution of Information Technology...
This paper presents a comparative study of three popular, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA); Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) ...
— Managing security projects is a delicate activity due to the evolution of attacks. In this paper, we develop a new methodology for estimating security effort based on algebraic...
We introduce the concept of neutral emergence (defined by analogy to an information theoretic view of neutral evolution), and discuss how it might be used in the engineering of ro...
In a component-based system components are basic computation units implementing specific business functions, and their interactions are explicitly represented by connectors. If th...
