The formal specification of design patterns is widely recognized as being vital to their effective and correct use in software development. It can clarify the concepts underlying ...
Interaction design patterns are a proven way to communicate good design. However, current pattern collections are not sufficiently powerful and generative to be used as a guide fo...
Interrupts are important aspects of real-time embedded systems to handle events in time. When there exist nested interrupts in a real-time system, and an urgent interrupt is allow...
Real-time scheduling algorithms for multiprocessor systems have been the subject of considerable recent interest. For such an algorithm to be truly useful in practice, support for...
It is well known that software maintenance and evolution are expensive activities, both in terms of invested time and money. Reverse engineering activities support the obtainment ...
