Component platforms play a major role in current distributed information systems. As these systems evolve, components need to be upgraded without breaking the consistency of compo...
Lowering down the chip temperature is becoming one of the important design considerations, since temperature adversely and seriously affects many of design qualities, such as reli...
As we move to developing object-oriented programs, the complexity traditionally found in functions and procedures is moving to the connections among components. Different faults o...
The implementation of software systems with large numbers of heterogeneous components calls for a powerful design methodology. Although several such methodologies have been propos...
In this paper, the authors propose and validate a methodology for the development of integrated Information Technology (IT) infrastructures. The motivation for putting forward a n...
