Model-driven approaches proved themselves not suited yet to support real-time software development. Even if they have the ability of capturing adequately both functional and non-f...
Agent orientation is currently pursued primarily as a software paradigm. Software with characteristics such as autonomy, sociality, reactivity and proactivity, and communicative an...
—For software, the costs of failures are not clearly understood. Often, these costs disappear in the costs of testing, the general developments costs, or the operating expenses. ...
