The role of UML models in software development has changed considerably over the last years. While UML was used in its early days mostly as a notation for sketching ideas, developers more and more recognize now the value of a UML model as a formal document ...
Refactoring is a powerful technique to improve the quality of software models including implementation code. The software developer applies successively so-called refactoring rules on the current software model and transforms it into a new model. Ideally, ...
UML State Machines constitute an integral part of software behavior specification within the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The development of realistic software applications often results in complex and distributed models. Hence, potential errors can be ...
In this paper we describe the successful use of RE methods in a project at Procter and Gamble UK. We identify two main elements for this success. The first element is the combination of methods from P&G and academia (Adoption Methodology and Lightswitch). ...
The article describes the philosophy of component approach to system design, illustrated on the optical transmission network example. The approach is based on the object oriented paradigms of Cosmos and Nyx tools. Cosmos serves as the support for system an ...
Refactoring is a powerful technique to improve the quality of software models including implementation code. The software developer applies successively so-called refactoring rules on the current software model and transforms it into a new model. Ideally, ...
Problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing have been studied in a variety of models. These models are structured around two central ideas: 1. Degree of synchrony and failure model are two independent parameters that determine a particular type of sys ...
In this paper we show how to reduce downtime of J2EE applications by rapidly and automatically recovering from transient and intermittent software failures, without requiring application modifications. Our prototype combines three application-agnostic tech ...
Modern incremental and iterative software engineering processes advocate to build software systems by first creating a highly simplified and abstract model of the system which is then moved by applying a series of model improvements toward implementation. ...
As the communication requirements of current and future Multiprocessor Systems on Chips (MPSoCs) continue to increase, scalable communication architectures are needed to support the heavy communication demands of the system. This is reflected in the recent ...
