The peer-to-peer approach to design large-scale systems has significant benefits including scalability, low cost of ownership, robustness, and ability to provide site autonomy. ...
Associations are a widely used construct of object-oriented languages. However, the meaning of associations for conceptual modelling of application domains remains unclear. This pa...
Studying industrial systems by simulation enables the designer to study the dynamic behaviour and to determine some characteristics of the system. Unfortunately, simulation also h...
— The design trend towards CMPs has made the simulation of multiprocessor systems a necessity and has also made multiprocessor systems widely available. While a serial multiproce...
In order to lower the risk, reengineering projects aim at high reuse rates. Therefore, tasks like architectural restructuring have to be performed in a way that developed new syst...
