As software systems become more complex the overall system structure { or software architecture { becomes a central design problem. An important step towards an engineering discip...
Most programs currently written by humans are object-oriented ones. Two of the greatest benefits of object oriented programming are the separation of interface from implementation,...
Abstract. Formal methods emphasizes the need for a top-down approach when developing large reliable software systems. Refinements are map step by step abstract algebraic specificat...
There are many structured P2P systems that use DHT technologies to map data items onto the nodes in various ways for scalable routing and location. Most of the systems require O(lo...
We describe a theory from Herbert Simon that links the structure of complex systems to increased speed of evolution, and argue the position that this theory can be beneficial to ev...
