Peer-to-peer systems typically operate in large-scale, highly unreliable and insecure environments. Tackling this complexity requires good software design. Yet, many peer-to-peer ...
As an object-oriented system evolves, its architecture tends to drift away from the original design. Knowledge of how the system has changed at coarse-grained levels is key to und...
Architectural patterns have an impact on both the structure and the behavior of a system at the architecture design level. However, it is challenging to model patterns' behavi...
Developers of programs for distributed systems spend considerable time designing solutions to various complex decision-making problems. The work described in this paper applies th...
Architecture patterns are an important tool in architectural design. However, while many architecture patterns have been identified, there is little in-depth understanding of thei...
