We introduce TIRA1 , a software architecture for the rapid prototyping of tailored information retrieval (IR) tools. TIRA allows to compose personal IR tools from atomic IR servic...
In avionics domain, the software applications grew to millions of source lines of code representing important development expenditures. To cut the costs, the avionics suppliers ar...
Model driven functional system testing generates test scenarios from behavioural and structural models. In order to autmatically generate tests, conditions such as invariants and ...
Current use case guidelines typically recommend a goal-driven process for use case creation and, in many cases, this approach indeed works sufficiently well. Yet, in our experienc...
The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
