It is now widely recognized that the so-called nonfunctional or extra-functional properties of a software system are at least as important as its somewhat more classical functiona...
There is no clear distinction between service-oriented systems (SOS) and component-based systems (CBS). However, there are several characteristics that could let one consider SOS ...
In this paper we propose a method for predicting the consequences of adding new components to an existing product line in the real-time systems domain. We refer to such a predicti...
Increasing complexity of real-time systems, and demands for enabling their configurability and tailorability are strong motivations for applying new software engineering principle...
The Visual Software Circuit Board (VSCB) platform supports a component based development methodology towards the development of software systems. The circuit board design techniqu...
