Due to increasing design complexity new methodologies for system modeling have been established in VLSI CAD. The SystemC methodology gains a significant reduction of design cycle...
Coupling and cohesion between subsystems are commonly studied metrics when analyzing the architecture of software systems. It is usually desirable for subsystems to have high cohe...
In software evolution analysis, many approaches analyze release history data available through versioning systems. The recent investigations of CVS data have shown that commonly c...
A synchronous system model is a simple yet powerful distributed system model that reduces the complexity of the design and implementation of dependable distributed applications. H...
We present a framework that will enable scalable analysis and design of graceful degradation in distributed embedded systems. We define graceful degradation in terms of utility. A...
