Large, complex and long-lived software need to be upgraded at runtime. Addition, removal and replacement of a software component are the elementary evolution operations that have ...
Reuse is an important means of reducing costs and effort during the development of complex software systems. A major challenge is to find suitable components in a large library wit...

To support rapid software evolution, it is desirable to construct software systems from reusable components. In this approach, the architecture of a system is described as a collec...
Performance prediction methods for component-based software systems aim at supporting design decisions of software architects during early development stages. With the increased a...
The use of formal model based (FMB) methods to evaluate the quality of the components is an important research area. Except for a growing number of exceptions, FMB methods are sti...
