The software engineering community has introduced component and connector concepts to support architecture-based software descriptions. However, there still exists a gap in transi...
As the properties of components have gradually become clearer, attention has started to turn to the architectural issues which govern their interaction and composition. In this pa...
A case study of performance and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant multiprocessors is presented. Two specific architectures are analyzed taking into account system functio...
Abstract: A key idea of architecture is the description of components and their connections. This information can be extended to define the horizontal and vertical distribution of...
This paper presents a generic software architecture for large-scale distributed applications in which mobile agents are an integral part. We developed this architecture through th...
