This paper considers the use of Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to model worst-case execution times. In particular it considers the sacrifice that statistical methods make in the reali...
The RISA Architecture is a novel reconfigurable hardware platform containing both hardware and software reconfigurable elements. This paper describes the architecture and the fea...
Web services systems impose additional complexity upon software maintenance and evolution processes. To handle it, we propose a framework for evolving and maintaining Web service ...
This paper describes an approach and support tool for the modelling and analysis of proposed reconfigurations to complex systems. The configuration models used are quick to constr...
We propose a formal model of trust informed by the Global Computing scenario and focusing on the aspects of trust formation, evolution, and propagation. The model is based on a no...
