Common to Grid services, Web Services, software agents and software components is that they are independently built and provide services aimed for composition. A key issue is wheth...
– Building large software systems out of existing software components can save time and cost. These software components range from architectural and design components to binary c...
This paper explores how to characterise security properties of software components, and how to reason about their suitability for a trustworthy compositional contract. Our framewo...
Physical boundaries have caused software systems to become less monolithic and more distributed. The trend is progressing to a point where software systems will consist of numerous...
Modeling the dependencies between provided and required services within a software component is necessary for several reasons, such as automated component adaptation and architectu...
Abstract. This paper presents a middleware platform we designed in order to allow the deployment of component-based software applications on mobile devices (such as laptops or pers...
We propose and evaluate a novel framework for enforcing global coordination and control policies over interacting software components in enterprise computing environments. This fra...
A common theme in information security is protection of trusted software components against unauthorized access by untrusted users. In the context of distributed object technologi...
Security is a critical component of grid systems and while there are numerous software components and tools that provide some capabilities relating to security, there are few comp...
Abstract— Adapting software components usable by a particular application is a crucial issue in software component based technology. In fact, software components can be used in c...
