Building an adaptive software system that can cope with changing requirements and changing environments presents four major challenges. These are (1) to receive, represent and rea...
Design and development scalability, in any engineering, requires information hiding and a specific composition mechanism in which composite items are made-up of other items. This ...
Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been proved useful for the quantitative analysis of systems. This paper introduces ArgoSPE, a tool for the performance evaluation of software syst...
Abstract. This paper discusses schema evolution in software engineering databases. After a study of existing approaches, we show that these approaches do not satisfy software engin...
