A novel (differential) entropy estimator is introduced where the maximum entropy bound is used to approximate the entropy given the observations, and is computed using a numerical ...
A mechanistic view of software component assembly implies exact matching and fitting of the particular components. We argue that components for large-scale software construction s...
Component Based Development (CBD) aims at constructing software through the integration, using interfaces and contracts, between pre-existing components. The main goal of this wor...
