—Stochastic activity networks (SANs) are a stochastic generalization of Petri nets. SAN models have been used to evaluate a wide range of systems and are supported by several mod...
Quantitative prediction of quality properties (i.e. extrafunctional properties such as performance, reliability, and cost) of software architectures during design supports a syste...

Quality and risk concerns currently limit the application of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components to non-critical applications. Software metrics can quantify factor...
The current state of traditional software development is surveyed and essential problems are investigated on the basis of system theoretical considerations. The concept of optimis...
