ibe an abstract architecture of adaptive applications, and indicate where we believe crucial design decisions must We illustrate the use of the abstract model in the design and im...
While software is becoming decomposed in more and more finegrained entities, the interactions amongst those become of major importance. While methodologies for building such compon...
This paper sketches the design, and presents a scalability analysis and evaluation of NLS, a scalable naming and location service. NLS resolves textual names to the nearest of a s...
process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
This paper explores the use of discrete-event simulation for the design and control of physical protection systems for fixed-site facilities housing items of significant value. It...
