Abstract. We define a probabilistic contract framework for the construction of component-based embedded systems, based on the theory of Interactive Markov Chains. A contract specif...
Component-oriented software development is becoming more and more important for the production of large-scale software applications. Today's systems are constructed by combin...
— We propose a method for component-based software and system development, where the interoperability between the different components is given special consideration. The method ...
— Smart Diagram Environments (SDEs) are software applications that use structured diagrams to provide a natural visual interface that behaves as if the computer “understands”...
Mashup applications combine pieces of functionality from several existing, heterogeneous sources to provide new integrated functionality. This paper presents the design of an enter...
