We developed XVCL (XML-based Variant Configuration Language), a method and tool for product lines, to facilitate handling variants in reusable software assets (such as architectur...
System-on-chip (SoC) designs have the potential to change the way we organize computation. This potential has gone unrealized. Future SoCs will have multiple heterogeneous process...
Software components promise easy reuse, dependability, and simplified development. Problems arise when implicit assumptions about the use of the component are encoded in the imple...
From the 1990s on, one of the most important challenges facing computer science researchers has been the design and construction of software tools to exploit Internet computing. A...
