Non-functional specifications of software components are considered an important asset in constructing dependable systems, since they enable early Quality of Service (QoS) evaluati...
This paper presents a software product line architecture where applications are assembled by installing a set of plugins on a common software base. In this architecture, the softwa...
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...
This paper presents AOKell, a framework for engineering component-based systems. This framework implements the Fractal model, a hierarchical and dynamic component model. The novelt...

Abstract. The use of software component models has become popular during the last decade, in particular in the development of software for desktop applications and distributed info...
Ideally in the deployment phase, components should be composable, and their composition checked. Current component models fall short of this ideal. Most models do not allow composi...
Abstract. A component-based system consists of components linked by connectors. Data can reside in components and/or in external data stores. Operations on data, such as access, up...
This paper addresses the unavoidable problem of dynamic reconfiguration in component-based system with a hierarchical component model. The presented solution is based on (1) allowi...
Designing architectures requires the balancing of multiple system quality objectives. In this paper, we present techniques that support the exploration of the quality properties of...
