Abstract. During an architectural evolution of a component-based software, certain quality attributes may be weakened. This is due to the lack of an explicit definition of the link...
Functional validation of microprocessors is growing in complexity in current and future microprocessors. The informal specification document from which the various collaterals are ...

Abstract. The integration of COTS components into a system under development entails architectural mismatches. These have been tackled, so far, at the component level, through comp...
Abstract. Software architecture constitutes a promising approach to the development of large-scale distributed systems, but architecture description languages (ADLs) and their asso...
