There is wide agreement that architecture plays a prominent role in large, complex software systems. Selection of an appropriate architecture – one that matches the system requi...
Functional requirements contain, and systems exhibit, the behavior summarized below.Despite the advances in software engineering since 1968, how to go from a set of functional req...
Architectural considerations play a key role in the success of any software-based development project. Architecture evaluation is an early risk reduction method for identifying ri...
This paper discusses how architectural requirements engineering fits into an overall software development process in the concept and definition phases of a project. It defines a r...
Improvements in the software development process depend on our ability to collect and analyze data drawn from various phases of the development life cycle. Our design metrics rese...
Modeling software components from multiple perspectives provides complementary views of a software system and enables sophisticated analyses of its functionality. A software compon...
Reliability is an important concern for software dependability. Quantifying dependability in terms of reliability can be carried out by measuring the continuous delivery of a corr...
Abstract. Dependable distributed applications require flexible infrastructure support for controlled redundancy, replication, and recovery of components and services. However, mos...
Software-intensive systems often exhibit dimensions in size and complexity that exceed the scope of comprehension of even talented, experienced system designers and analysts. With ...
