The support of QoS properties in component-based software requires the run-time selection of appropriate concrete QoS contracts at the ports of the interacting components. Such a s...
Abstract. In the context of Service Oriented Computing, contracts are descriptions of the observable message-passing behavior of services. Contracts have been already successfully ...
This paper presents a method and a tool for building trustable OO components. The methodology is based on an integrated design and test approach for OO software components. It is ...
Abstract. We prove that for every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar graph can be contracted to H. We introduce contractions and topological min...
Abstract. Many software applications are based on collaborating, yet competing, agents or virtual organisations exchanging services. Contracts, expressing obligations, permissions ...
