Performing a good security analysis on the design of a system is an essential step in order to guarantee a reasonable level of protection. However, different attacks and threats m...
Early performance analysis based on Queueing Network Models (QNM) has been often proposed to support software designers during the software development process. These approaches a...
Scalability of software engineering methods can be improved by application of the methods to individual components instead of complete systems. This is, however, possible only if ...
Design patterns provide a medium-grained ion and can be used as an effective tool for understanding object-oriented systems. This paper presents a simple tool for the extraction o...
The reuse of well-tested and optimized design objects is an important aspect for decreasing design times, increasing design quality, and improving the predictability of designs. R...
