MetaFT-A Reflective Approach to Implement Replication Techniques in CORBA
A model was introduced in [Fraga97] for integrating replication techniques in heterogeneous systems. The model adopts a reflective structure based on the meta-object approach [10]...

System Design Validation Using Formal Models
Formal methods are a nice idea, but the size and complexity of real systems means that they are impractical. We propose that a reasonable alternative to attempting to specify and ...

The Pragmatic Roots of Context
When modelling complex systems one can not include all the causal factors, but one has to settle for partial models. This is alright if the factors left out are either so constant...

A Query-sensitive Cost Model for Similarity Queries with M-tree
We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
