Architecture defines the components of a system and their dependencies. The knowledge about how the architecture is intended to be implemented is essential to keep the system str...
We explore the average-case “Vickrey” cost of structures in a random setting: the Vickrey cost of a shortest path in a complete graph or digraph with random edge weights; the V...
We introduce the First Fit Matching Periods algorithm for rate-monotonic multiprocessor scheduling of periodic tasks with implicit deadlines and show that it yields asymptotically...
Case-base administrators face a choice of many maintenance algorithms. It is well-known that these algorithms have different biases that cause them to perform inconsistently over ...
The paper is a case study of customer-initiated software product development. We have observed and participated in system development activities in a commercial software house (com...
