Micro patterns are similar to design patterns, except that micro patterns stand at a lower, closer to the implementation, level of abstraction. Micro patterns are also unique in t...
Many modern software systems are often large, distributed, written in more than one programming language, and developed using pre-built components. This paper presents the results...
In the process of developing an Information System, one passes through stages that include requirements gathering, design specification, and software implementation. The purpose ...

Failures triggered by hard to debug defects usually involve complex interactions between many program elements. We hypothesize that information flows present a good model for such ...
