Because the knowledge required for the construction of a complex software system is often widely distributed among its members, programmers routinely engage in collaboration with ...
Model-driven engineering (MDE) addresses platform complexity issues by abstracting platformindependent models for subsequent transformation to platform-specific models. This faci...
Surprising as it may seem, many of the early adopters of the object-oriented paradigm already face a number of problems typically encountered in large-scale legacy systems. Softwa...
The paper proposes a methodology to assist the designer at the initial stages of the design synthesis process by enabling him/her to employ knowledge and algorithms existing in gr...
We explore the meanings of the terms as "structure," "behavior," and, especially, "function" in engineering practice. Computers provide great help in...
