—Contracts and their composition may be used with different goals in a component-based design flow: on the one hand, a component contract describes the guarantees a component is...
The paper describes the design of a generation component for a spoken dialogue system. After discussing three existing models of generation, a model based on new information focus...
Currently, since many SoCs include heterogeneous components such as CPUs, DSPs, ASICs, memories, buses, etc., system integration becomes a major step in the design flow. To enable...

The validation of functional and real-time requirements of control software for embedded systems is a difficult task. It usually needs the electronic control unit (ECU) and the co...
How do design decisions impact the quality of the resulting software? In an empirical study of 52 ECLIPSE plug-ins, we found that the software design as well as past failure histo...
