Current domain-specific modeling (DSM) frameworks for designing component-based systems often consider the system's structural and behavioral concerns as the two dominant con...

We present and formalize concepts for the structured specification of system behavior based on services. Services are patterns of interaction between reactive components, thus sup...

Future space missions such as the Mars Science Laboratory and Project Constellation suggest the engineering of some of the most complex man-rated software systems. The present pro...
Probabilistic models are useful for analyzing systems which operate under the presence of uncertainty. In this paper, we present a technique for verifying safety and liveness prop...
Software systems have to be changed continuously and evolutionarily throughout the whole time of their development and usage. Meanwhile, the software systems have to remain flexi...
Security requirements strongly influence the architectural design of complex IT systems in a similar way as other non-functional requirements. Both security engineering as well a...
Sensornet lifespan and utility is limited by the energy resources of individual motes. Network designers seek to maximise energy efficiency while maintaining acceptable Quality o...
Future space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory, are built upon computing platforms providing a high degree of autonomy and diverse functionality. The increased sophisticat...

In this paper, we aim to ascribe a meaning to SysML activity diagrams. To this end, we propose a dedicated algebraic-like language, namely activity calculus, and an operational se...
