: Multiagent Systems (MAS) are open, heterogeneous and distributed software systems of autonomous agents. The management of exception differs in MAS from what is known in usual eng...
—Cohesion was first introduced as a software attribute that, when measured, could be used to predict properties of implementations that would be created from a given design. Unfo...
The paper first presents the integration options of what we call the Timing Description Language (TDL) with MathWorks' Simulink tools. Based on the paradigm of logical executi...
An important goal of software engineering is to exploit commonalities in system design in order to reduce the complexity of building new systems, support largescale reuse, and pro...
A crucial issue in the design of Component-Based (CB) applications is the ability to early guarantee that the system under development will satisfy its Quality of Service requireme...
