Abstract. In current software components models, components do not encapsulate control, and are composed by connection mechanisms which pass control from component to component. Co...
This paper presents a model of estimating the similarity of software artifacts so as to promote their analogical reuse. The model permits comparisons between artifacts developed a...
To our point of view, adaptability is a key characteristic of components and should be at the heart of any proper component model. However, contrarily to the object crystal-box mod...
It is believed that reusability in formal development should reduce the time and cost of formal modelling within a production environment. Along with the ability to reuse formal mo...
Component-based software development focuses on building large software systems by integrating existing software components to reduce cost, risk and time. However, behavioural and...
