What abstractions are useful for expressing distributed interaction? This question has constituted an active area of research in the last decades and several candidates have been proposed, including remote method invocation, tuple spaces and publish/subscr ...

A major cause of many complications in the field of software architectures is the lack of appropriate abstractions for separating, combining and encapsulating concerns of various kinds in architectural descriptions. Architectures of most complex software-i ...

Existing models for parallel programming over Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) do not address issues specific to parallel programming over a Network of Workstations (NOWs). This paper presents P-CORBA, a model for parallel programming over ...

Capturing concerns that crosscut the boundaries of multiple components in software architecture descriptions is problematic. Standard description languages, such as UML, do not provide adequate means to understand and modularize such concerns, but aspect-o ...
This position paper takes a bottom-up approach that analyzes the suitability of UML for modeling aspect-oriented software, and compares it with the UML support for modeling object-oriented software. We first introduce the basic concepts of AspectJ, a state ...
Distributed computing is one of the major trends in the computer industry. As systems become more distributed, they also become more complex and have to deal with new kinds of problems, such as partial crashes and link failures. While many middleware archi ...
This paper describes a method of compiling specification properties into automata or test oracles which allow testing of any proposed implementation. It also shows how to interpret the automata's status during testing. The method addresses verification of ...
Software engineering always cares to provide solutions for building applications as close as possible to what they should be, according to the requirements and the final users needs. Systems behavior simulation is a very common application to virtually rep ...
