Abstract. During an architectural evolution of a component-based software, certain quality attributes may be weakened. This is due to the lack of an explicit definition of the link...
This paper reviews the development of an interactive evolutionary design system (IEDS) for conceptual design, which integrates an agent based ‘build and evolve’ approach with ...
Modelling architectural information is particularly important because of the acknowledged crucial role of software architecture in raising the level of abstraction during developme...
There are a number of competing component models in use today. Most are language-independent, but also platform-dependent and not designed to support a tool-based development para...
— We propose a method for component-based software and system development, where the interoperability between the different components is given special consideration. The method ...
