A discrete control system, with stringent hardware constraints, is effectively an embedded real-time system and hence requires a rigorous methodology to develop the software invol...

This paper argues that complex, embedded software agent systems are best constructed with parallel, layered architectures. These systems resemble Minskian Societies of Mind and Br...
rocesses involve modeling – simplifying or abstracting some aspects of the problem domain in order to plan and evaluate design decisions. The use of representations to reason abo...
Design patterns have proven to be a useful means to make the process of designing, developing, and reusing software systems more efficient. In the area of information visualizatio...

Security requirements strongly influence the architectural design of complex IT systems in a similar way as other non-functional requirements. Both security engineering as well a...
