A long-standing goal of software engineering is to construct software that is easily modified and extended. Recent advances in software design techniques, such as aspect-oriented ...
Software has become strategic to developing effective distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Next-generation DRE systems, such as total ship computing environments, coo...
Cognitive science emphasizes the strength of visual formalisms for human learning and problem solving. In software engineering, a clear, visual presentation of a system's arc...
A functional aspect is an aspect that has the semantics of a transformation; it is a function that maps a program to an advised program. Functional aspects are composed by functio...
Queueing models are routinely used to analyze the performance of software systems. However, contrary to common assumptions, the time that a software server takes to complete jobs ...
