Object-oriented modeling is concerned with capturing common properties of objects. The dominant thinking in this realm is to classify objects that share certain properties into what is called a class, which in turn enables us to instantiate additional obje ...
In this paper a commercial 28 nm FDSOI CMOS technology is characterized and modeled from room temperature down to 4.2 K. Here we explain the influence of incomplete ionization and interface traps on this technology starting from the fundamental device-phys ...
[Context] As opposed to the traditional approach to problem solving, which limits the scope of the solution to the stated problem, the mandate for services is to go deeper and focus on the value that the proposed solution creates for the entities affected ...
In standard database scenarios, an end-user assumes that all data (e.g., sensor readings) is stored in a database. Therefore, one can simply submit any arbitrary complex processing in the form of SQL queries or stored procedures to a database server. Data ...
The era of distributed systems is upon us. The Internet revolution, combined with the recent explosion of smart devices, indicate a clear trend toward ubiquitous and pervasive computing that will continue to change the way people live and interact, the way ...
Large-scale networked systems often, both by design or chance exhibit self-organizing properties. Understanding self-organization using tools from cybernetics, particularly modeling them as Markov processes is a first step towards a formal framework which ...
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 ...
This thesis is at the crossing of object-orientation and reliable distributed systems, and contributes to integrate those two research fields. Existing distributed programming environments can be characterised according to whether they rely on object conce ...
New architectures of telecommunications networks like the Intelligent Network (IN) proposal allow an ever easier way to introduce new services into a network. However, this facility and the short delays that can be achieved between the first informal speci ...
