Component Based Development (CBD) aims to facilitate the construction of large-scale applications by supporting the composition of simple building blocks into complex applications...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
Software evolution is an essential concept underlying the engineering of corporate portals. Due to the complexity of such systems, it requires great effort and is not advisable to...
Attainment of software performance assurances in open, largely unpredictable environments has recently become an important focus for real-time research. Unlike closed embedded sys...
