Software systems of today are characterized by the increasing size, complexity, distribution and heterogeneity. Understanding and supporting the interaction between software requir...
We describe a software development approach for vision that enhances robustness by making novel use of context. Conventional approaches to most image understanding problems suffe...
When software projects evolve their actual implementation and their intended architecture may drift apart resulting in problems for further maintenance. As a countermeasure it is g...
The need to model systems and their different aspects leads to research and development of models which support all views of a system. The growing complexity of the software impos...
