The notion of a fragment was coined by Montague 1974 to illustrate the formal handling of certain puzzles, such as de dicto/de re, in a truth-conditional semantics for natural lan...
Upper bounds on worst-case execution times, which are commonly called WCET, are a prerequisite for validating the temporal correctness of tasks in a real-time system. Due to the e...
Component middleware provides dependable and efficient platforms that support key functional, and quality of service (QoS) needs of distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. C...
Complex applications in many areas, including scientific computations and business-related web services, are created from collections of components to form workflows. In many case...
