The global interaction behavior in message-based systems can be specified as a finite-state machine defining acceptable sequences of messages exchanged by a group of peers. Realiz...
Increasingly systems are composed of parts: software components, and the interaction mechanisms (connectors) that enable them to communicate. When assembling systems from independ...
Software systems that rely on the component paradigm build new components by assembling existing prefabricated components. Most currently available IDEs support graphical component...
Component Based Development (CBD) aims to facilitate the construction of large-scale applications by supporting the composition of simple building blocks into complex applications...
