Design patterns have been widely adopted and well investigated by the software engineering community over the past decade. However, their primary use is still associated with forw...
In this paper, we identify and analyze a set of issues that are more and more influencing the characteristics of today's complex software systems, and that distinguish them f...
Program debugging is an extremely time-consuming process, and it takes up a large portion of software development time. In practice, debugging is still very much of an art, with t...
In this paper, we discuss the critical role of simulation input modeling in a successful simulation study. Two pitfalls in simulation input modeling are then presented and we expl...
Despite the relevance of the concept of role for conceptual modeling and agent-orientation, there is still in the literature a lack of consensus on the meaning of this notion and h...
