—We have defined a software component model which specifies components and composition operators. These operators coordinate and encapsulate concurrency between components. In ...
In component based software engineering, an application is build by composing trusted and reusable units of execution, the components. A composition is formed by connecting the com...
We provide an algebraic formalisation of connectors in BIP. These are used to structure interactions in a component-based system. A connector relates a set of typed ports. Types a...
Large, complex and long-lived software need to be upgraded at runtime. Addition, removal and replacement of a software component are the elementary evolution operations that have ...
As software systems become more complex the overall system structure { or software architecture { becomes a central design problem. An important step towards an engineering discip...
